Hi guys need serious suggestions on the colour for the FC Ute as she is in production and factory wants a decision, tell me what turns you on and then what colour you would like the car.
Thanks

John,
As you can see from Zulu's post, Hialeah Green cars are about.
Several NSW Club members have them, and there was a Ute and at least 1 car at Mt Gambier Nationals in 2008, both with good paint.
Black Utilities came with following Trim: Fall Red; Dravo Green; Mesa Tan;
My last post does not list all available ute colours.

I've never clapped eyes on one but I reckon a Factory Black ute with Fall Red upholstery would look good

Hialeah Green with Dravo Green upholstery would be nice also

Below pic of Dravo Green upholstery

Thanks guys great info and great feed back but what colour do you guys want me to build this car, I love the black but it's not about me.
Regards and thanks

Black would be good and I also like the idea of green.  Could I suggest going with a colour that Trax haven't done in early Holdens?  Most of the buyers of your ute will have many Trax cars also.  Doing a different colour will add to the overall interest of the displays.
