Gator Blue

I suppose if you don’t live in the Southeast you might not know what gator blue is. It’s kind of a royal blue with neon tendencies. It is one of the main school colors for the University of Florida, or the Gators. There other color? Orange. Yes, the colors look as bad together as it sounds. At least to me. I actually don’t like either of the colors alone and when they are put together it makes my eyes bleed.

No guess what automotive paint color my dad chose for his brand spanking new truck? If you thought the title was a bit of foreshadowing you were correct. Gator blue. Bright and obnoxious and what was he thinking? The top is white, so at least that is normal. Yes, I actually said that because that’s just how I am. I even said it to him. Do you know what he said? He said he was thinking about having it painted orange. Maybe I’m adopted? I mean who does that? Before you psycho fanboys get too upset with me, I know lots of people do that..school pride, etc. But it doesn’t mean I have to like it, dang it.

So gator blue (for now) is my least favorite automotive paint color. That could change if he carries through with his orange threat. What is your least favorite automotive paint color?
