I'm a fan of all colours, although wouldn't have the Arctic Blue because it was too similar to my Fiesta (basically, I like all colours on the 182!).
Ives, I think you are seeing a 172 everyday. The 182s came in Arctic Blue (dark-ish metallic blue), French Racing Blue (flat light blue), Titanium Silver (obviously... Silver!) and a Black Gold colour (can't remember the name).
The 172 models came in Red (Maroon-ish colour), Monaco Blue (Darker metallic blue then the Arctic Blue), Silver and Black. Then there was the mk1 172s (only 85) which were again different... we had 3 Yellows into the country, and a few red ones too!
I've grown to love the French Racing Blue colour though - It stands out, easy to keep clean, collectors item (as are all 182 Cups! ;)) and it's rare. No other car has a similar colour available. Love it.
I will be keeping it till it is paid off. Then, I'll be moving on. Not because I'd be over the car, but because it's the logical decision given the Kms it is estimated to have then!
