Thanks very much.

Yeah, it's the Holden Monaro here in Australia. They rebadged it as the Pontiac GTO in the states.

Haha :lol: Must be the connection with Christmas, invokes a festive and happy feeling.

Foreground Red + background Green excels

Foreground Yellow + background Red excels

Foreground Orange + background Blue excels

Its all from the colour wheel. I didn't know about it till I did some website styling. I'd say they use a similar thing when deciding what colour car interior fits with what colour exterior.


Try a orange car beside a blue water beach or from low angles with a polarised blue sky.

Try a banana yellow car against a red brick wall.
