As a token woman, I don't like purplish maroon. In fact, I don't like any maroon. Purple is excellent, but not on vanagons. Yellow is better or strong clear blues. The burgundy on mine is boring boring boring. Unfortunately I couldn't pick based on color. If I picked my vehicles based on color and looks I'd have a mini cooper in goldenrod or some vehicle that comes in lovely shades of aqua and teal and other blue-greens. Or I'd have a 1912 Pierce Arrow in any color it came in. I don't pick my vehicles on the basis of color or other visuals, however.
