Possible Wiki Subject - Colors

[Ron500E]

Gentlemen, and I use this term loosely;

It would be both nice and useful to see a Wiki showing every color of 036's produced as well as every interior color available.
Perhaps in numerical or code order.
I'd like to see members cars when possible instead of stock or found pics. At least until members cars become available.

Just my 500 cents worth,

Thanks,

Ron

This would be a great start. http://www.500eboard.com/forums/showwiki.php?title=500E_Paint_Codes

Why don't you orchestrate some additions based on real cars, Ron ?!?

Ron: I added my car to the chart...is that what you had in mind?

The only approved interior colors were black, gray, cream/shoom, brown, and blue. No red, no green, no palomino/saddle. Then there were the three special Limited interiors.

It would be interesting to see if any 036's were custom/special ordered with a non-standard interior color. I know there were a couple of custom exterior colors (like the neon yellow car).

The color charts are useful, no question. But I'd like to see the actual cars as opposed to a paint swatch.

I'll "donate" my Malachite/ Mushroom as soon as the sun comes out.

Ron, et al ... I see we are slowly making progress with regard to GSXR and "mushroom". In the past, it has been sort of a "Taiwan" or "Israel" situation (whereby certain governments refuse to acknowledge these countries as sovereign nations, but rather consider them rogue territories that they "own") with regard to GSXR and mushroom.

Now I see he is at least acknowledging Mushroom's right to exist.

Perhaps we can have a Camp David ["Meimann"] peace agreement in the future.....

Cheers,
Gerry

Just like the Middle East peace accords, the end of the Mushroom Wars is just around the corner. It's been a long road, with casualties and hero's on both sides, but maybe, just maybe, we can seize the opportunity for peace and agreement during our lifetime.

The Mushroom Wars were, thankfully, a short but intense engagement akin to the 1967 Arab-Israeli conflict knows as "The Six-Day War."

Like in that conflict, a cease-fire was signed after the "cream beige" contingent suffered a much higher level of casualties than the "mushroom" side did.

And also like that particular Arab-Israeli conflict, the Mushroom War permanently redrew the boundaries of mushroom, resulting in its permanent inclusion into color-related dialogues involving that particular color number.

As I understand it there STILL are some holdouts. The Fifth Columnists if you will.
Like Hiroo Onoda, the Japanese soldier who continued to fight WWII until 1972, there are some who refuse to believe the truth.
I'm not saying they should be hunted down like the common criminals they are - but they should be watched, very carefully lest they infect new 036 owners with their obvious color related diesel fantasy's.
Yes, they fought with valor, but it now time to surrender and accept the fact that Mushrooms are in power, and always will be.
Intelligence sources, and ISP addresses, indicate that the pocket of resistance seems to centered around Boise I Da Hoe for some reason.
A hotbed of Parchment/Cream Beige activity if ever there was one.
