But... Which light travels fastest when unaltered?
Also.. When you look at the color of something, you are seeing the light that is reflected off of it's surface, and the opposite of the color that it absorbs. So, is the color of the car orange? Or is it the opposite?

Do I take the Red pill or the blue pill?

I am going to go with two tone silver and blue. That is the best paint job IMO for a 280zx.

Real men see in 16bit... I only know 16 colors.
WTF is Teal? Or Mauve? I am pretty sure Peach is just a freaking fruit.

Hemi orange and Kwaki green are variances I can live with by man law. They are colors made popular with motor sports.

I didn't see this poll before. Anyway I voted blue. But of course I like two/tone blue and silver. They are the best combination on a 280zx. Which I am painting my '82 T-top like

I've got a blue n silver one I am about to disassemble into about 700 pieces.

I think that a nice Mclaren orange looks good on a z.

Going back goldish with my 80.

Quoted from Vertex on intjforum.com

"Light travels at a constant speed in vaccum... 3 x 10^8 m/s...

But in media like air, glass, different wavelengths in the electromagnetic spectrum travel at different speeds.

Refractive Index n is inversely proportional to wavelength of light.
But refractive index = Speed of light in Vaccum/Speed of light in medium

Hence, speed of light in media is directly proportional to wavelength...
Since wavelength increases from Violet to Red,
Red travels the fastest...
Violet travels the slowest..."

I need to paint my white Z red lol
Homo purple looses!
