A new trend is appearing in the world of car manufacturers. Colours from every part of the spectrum are now being used as standard colours for many cars.
Colours such as orange, bright green and yellow, which traditionally were only found on supercars such as Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Porsches, have made their way into the world of everyday, no fuss motoring.
Ford is leading this trend. Their most notable, and most likely their first example of this was the Ford Focus ST, which is often seen in an eye-catching shade of bright orange. They followed up well with the new Ford Fiesta being advertised in a colour, which is described by Ford as Hot Magenta, but to those of us in the real world is clearly pink. To continue with their trend the new Focus RS comes in a stunning shade of bright green.
The strangest thing about this whole phenomenon is that the colours work. The Ford Focus ST is one of the nicest, affordable cars Ford has made for a long time. It's a beast of a machine and was described by Clarkson as the "perfect car for modern Britain".
If other car manufacturers get on board then Britain's motorways could be transformed from the grey and silver powerbook world of art deco and brushed aluminium into a world of colour, and illuminous ones at that.
