No seriously, Lexus is soliciting suggestions to name the New Orange paint for the RC-F.

I think it should be something that has some relation motorsports, it would be cool if it's like that.

How about....

Traffic Cone

Watch that Wall Orange

Hot Wheels Track Orange

Safety Marshall Vest Orange

Vesuvius

Naples Orange

Sicilian Sunset

Brain Earl Spilner Special

How about Vivid Orange Metallic or Mekena State L'Orange?

Not that I have a better idea, but I'm not so sure we are good namers here on this forum.

"Crableg Orange?"

I think it should have something to do with Japan. I don't know much about japan, but I'm sure they have some cool historical or mythological figure that they could relate to the color orange.

Kamikaze Orange?

Red Suns Shadow?

Iyokan (japanese citrus fruit?)

Agent Orange

Sweet and Sour Teriyaki

Jalopnik wrote an article about this color naming competition. One person thinks it should be called Gillette Fusion Orange, which is pretty accurate actually.

Another suggestion for the new color name is Tangerine Scream, which sounds like it could actually be the winner.

Tangerine Scream? Sounds like the side effect of a citrus splash in the eyeball...

I'm still a fan of Agent Orange, but that might not go over so well, especially with the Americans who are rather sensitive about that

i think thats a lawsuit waiting to happen

Or the next level of corporate cross promotion. Just think about how much a company would pay to have a car color named after them.

 

[soarer]

Too much to deal with bringing on a company like that , plus i bet they wouldn't even consider it.

and think how much credibility you, as lexus, lose from taking that pay

 

[rwdftw]

so how long until they decide?

I think that Lexus has got to name this color after something that has to do with their heritage. Those color names have the chance to be iconic and distinctive. Think of Yas Marina Blue, which is named after a race track, and Estoril Blue is named after a town in Portugal that has a racing history. I just figure they have to do something like that.

Yea but Yas Marina and Estoril have nothing to do with BMW heritage...

If you want heritage and racing rolled into one consider Fuji Orange or Fuji Sunburst, Exploding Fuji, Fuji Dynamo, Fuji Eclipse... rattle em off with your favorite superlative...

Fuji as in Fuji raceway, Lexus does a ton of suspension tuning there.
