I got this idea from another thread. Beige is definitely a love it or hate it color. Let's see them. I'll start.

i think i would consider my 84 named Wilson to be beige. sure is better than that turd/diarrhea brownish orange color that is out there.

Ah, you must mean Asuan Brown. My first van was that colour...I remember it fondly. Looks great after a wash and wax.

My wife and I have always called this "old man tan". Beige by any other name is still pretty when it's displayed like this. :lol: Although I must admit if I could pick any color it would probably be the Assuan Brown.

Meet Wilson if you haven't already. He has been very good to us on this adventure, our first. NY-FL with stops in VA, TN, and NC. one photo is in FL and the other is at Watauga Lake in TN.

Love them, though I love the Mexico Beige or whatever it was called on the late bays the best.

This one is especially sweet!

i think the color of Wilson is called Damuso White... i have to check the paint code though.

Nope, nothing changed... well, actually, RA08s have changed since then... Might've washed it before the photo...

And my van has hauled ladders, lumber, t-posts... but never on the outside like that! You'll never find me going to town on my van with a sawzall... well, ok, maybe for a minor mod :twisted:

Savannah Beige Metallic (LH1V) in it's natural habitat.

On a car lot the name of the color is "No Sale Beige"

With a nice set of wheels, and a little fluffing and buffing the color of sand can be made to look nice--

I myself had a new 76 Monte Carlo the same color as the last westy pictured with a half white vinyl & top white interior.
You get used to it after awhile --

It's OK

Some how I can picture you in a Monte Carlo with a few Vacuums in the back seat and Stainless pipes sticking out of the trunk and a "High Lift" style jack bolted to the front bumper .

Fellow beige owner here. I didn't like the color of mine when I bought it but had a change of heart. One day I was climbing in Joshua Tree and noticed the van parked in the distance. I thought to myself, "Hey that van looks nice in the desert." :D
