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.
