All I can say is red is Nature's way of signaling DANGER!!

I really like the smurf blue and that's all I've ever owned. I could see orange though...

Never cared what color it was as long as it was a cruiser!
I'm with ya on this one. As long as it's not a pimp, low profile, rice boy cruiser (like these was on e-bay last year IIRC) I will love it. Even rust and holes is a nice color for a cruiser

Hmm...

Never thought I'd hear myself say this, but where is the tech in this thread?

I've owned a red one with way too much rust, a green one, and the current smurf blue. The blue was kinda cool at first, but now I'm real tired of it.

Always loved the red.

The wife wants one in orange.

Not a fan of red at all on any vehicle. Not sure why, dont like red on GTOs or Ferrari or Porche... I like red lipstick on women though

Dig green, my FJ40 was that crayon green.

Would love to paint my FJ60 a burnt orange, now that would rock.

Every vehicle I've ever/will ever own is BLUE. Except Taco, only halfway decent color left in last 2004 batch was black. Despise the 2005 Tacos.

Cruisers are cool in any color just as long as they're not sporting domestic power plants. Diesel cruisers are the only ones worth their salt.

I hate anything painted Red. To many years living in the desert, all red cars turn pink over time here.

My current cruiser is Krylon #2001 (Hunter Green). If I was worried about looks I'd re-paint it the Tan or Cream color.

red is a classic color. what I first saw as a kid, what I recall of fj40 as a kid, it is a solid color and you see it coming. I dig it.
