Dove blue to be more precise, it got resprayed in a close match metallic blue 4 years ago. Should have gone for a white top but eh its all blue. She was nick named Marge because she is tall and blue.

Really? There are over 60 colors for T3s  , all of which fall into categories based on their codes' third digit (except for '70s carryovers):
1 = Yellow
2 = (other)
3 = Red
4 = Violet
5 = Blue
6 = Green
7 = Gray & Silver
8 = Brown
9 = Black
0 = White
It would've taken me hours to add every single T3 color to the list, and I don't think the forum software allows an unlimited list of poll options. Ergo, color categories, not color names in the poll.

It was there when I made the poll, but didn't show up. Tried again and it's there now.

I made up the poll in a effort to see how Vanagons compare to other cars. I wanted to see if my claim that white was the most popular color for all cars also applied to Vanagons. It appears that it does.
I made the claim in this thread:

Elfenbein, aka Ivory.
A color that I think works well on the round-headlight chrome-bumper model.
The paint is original and has held up and takes a shine remarkably well. |
