Almost all Porsche's were repainted red in the 80's.
I know you’re making a half joke, but seriously, mid 80’s to mid 2000’s were an awful phase for car colors. Somehow all the least used colors from the crayon box were the only colors you could buy on a car.
My theory is a reduction of cocaine in the marketing department led to a long era of boring people making boring cars.
I get thrilled to see these bright green Cameros and corvettes. I think, “Finally! Fun cars look fun again!”
I agree with your thinking, but I think it's opposite. Cocaine was real big in the 80's, when that box of crayons narrowed to just a few colors. LSD, mushrooms, etc were big in the late 60's and 70's when all the cool colors came out. Today is blah blah with the colors, kinda like Charlie Brown not really listening.
Ha! Very good sir! Clearly I don’t know drugs very well, but I was at least on the right track aboa change in drugs changing design

All the standard factory colors look great on a 914. The one color that most dislike is Sepia Brown, but even it has some admirers.
I disagree.
As the shamed owner of a Gold 914….now red, I believe Gold is the most disliked color.
Absolute best color for a 914 - Sahara Beige. Damn lucky Steve G. has the only one I know of. Wish there was a way to steal a paint job

The best color for your 914 is always the original color whatever that may be. If it’s a nice paint job it will look fantastic.

Car colors that should be eliminated worldwide: White, Grey, Silver, Black, and sometimes Gold.
The sameness of pigmented mind control!!
Funny about the Red comment switched my car in High school to an Earl Schieb Red
even stepped-up adding Primer
On the Subject of Grey I went from a Loud and Barky Super Charged Mini Cooper to a Mustang
I am over 50 and thought I should Drive a more Mature looking Mustang so I picked Magnetic Grey, I think it works perfect for me .Click to view attachment
I'm not really that enthusiastic about elimination of those colors, but come on. . look at any parking lot and it's a sea of bland. Cars today have little enough personality and 95% of them are White, Grey (including that awful primer color), Silver, and Black. Car lots should look like Skittles!!!
after 1972 the US government should have banned the use of white, black, silver and gold for all terrestrial vehicles until man returned to the moon.

My favorite also!
Mine is saturn yellow, I hated it at first. Almost painted it red in the 80's. But it grew on me and I ended up really glad that I held off painting. Especially when I found that staying with yellow made it go about 10 mph faster . Right now, I'd sport Leopard spots if it got me back on the road
I wish my 914 was a different color... but I will keep it original when I paint it unfortunately
"Apricot Beige".....ick.
