AM has pulled 'Tom Brady' to create an impact/fanbase in the USA; that's a big move -

Guess I'm the only one who actually like the pink accent. I've always hated the neon lime colour they use on their other racing cars.

Ugh i stand corrected. Here i was waiting for the livery i was anticipating most of all teams and cars and we've been given the most bland, boring and disappointing livery ever. the pink really doesn't go well. definately would have been better if it was neon yellow, but even then it's disappointing.

all this could have happened and we got this bland product
Honestly whats with the passion for lime? the green they have is their heritage racing colours and clearly they wanted something akin to a throwback livery with hints of lime pinstriping. However when BWT cam back at the last minute they had no choice but to change the lime to pink. It was their choice of $$$$ or lime. Be grateful that we even got a green car back

Rose Pink would be better than Bubblegum Pink. Add a bit of silver-metallic, and gorgeous green/pink combo.

Best livery. Is it only me that loves the watermelon pink?

Would be epic if JV returned sporting pink hair dye in this thing. Even a pink helmet would be cool.

geesh almost the stripe is a direct Merc copy
:lol:

I think it looks good. I like how the colour is Almond Green as expected, and it's gloss not silly matte. =D> =D>

Pink and green go together nicely. The black sharkfin is a nice detail too.

AM have a proper racing history and it's in sports cars and it's beautiful:

It's bizarre that some fans were expecting British Racing Green instead of Almond Green and are disappointed by the colour. Aston Martin haven't raced in BRG since the early 50's, when somebody in the Aston paint shop tipped some new-fangled silver metallic into the BRG and invented Almond Green!

There isn't really a thing called "British Racing Green". It's not defined as a single colour.

I like the lighter green as shown in the DBR1 I showed, and that is similar (it seems) to the colour chosen by the current team calling themselves "Aston Martin". 8)

Refer exhibit 49186. :P The F1 cars are presented instead in something along the lines of Aston Martin Racing Green, Aston Green Mica, Almond Green, DBR9 Racing Green, DBS Racing Green etc which is a few different colour codes and not quite so precisely defined by Aston Martin -- but broadly speaking they are all green with silver metallic mixed in.

Surely, in Aston Martin terminology British Racing Green is quite precisely defined just as Ferrari Rosso Corsa is (as the specific colour raced by Ferrari from 1955 to 1996 and still available as a road colour), and it would be improper to pass off Aston Racing Green as British Racing Green, just as it would improper to pass off Honda Tafetta White as Honda Championship White (as the historic Grand Prix car colour which is available on Type R road cars).
