While a large number of cars on Aussie roads are either white, silver or grey, sometimes you get to see a nicely shaded coloured car zooming around town. Those car owners who are adventurous to try a car which is on the brighter or more abstract side of the colour wheel are our heroes and seeing the brightly coloured metal on our daily commutes can brighten the day, literally.
But have you ever noticed that some car colours are reminiscent of some of the country’s favourite ice cream treats? There are five car and colour combinations, in particular, that give us the craving to stop by the servo on the way home to grab a sweet treat.
Some call this colour Kermit the Frog green, Toyota officially called it Citrus Yellow. All we can see is a tasty lime Splice! To the Aussies who said YOLO at the car yard and went Lime Splice over the Icey pole white Corolla, we salute you.
Exotic, a summer favourite and a little bit more expensive than the rest. That’s exactly the vibe you’ll get from both a Lamborghini Gallardo and a Mango Weis Bar. It’s definitely not something you’d want to have all the time but certainly nice to treat yourself.

Small and zesty. The Audi A1 and the Lemon Calippo share these traits especially in the A1’s bright yellow colour palette. To have a car that is bright yellow is a real reflection of the driver so if you’re not a happy-go-lucky kind of person who loves sunshine, smiles and relaxed vibes, then you’ve picked the wrong colour! Maybe try just a standard icy pole instead…

Cookies and Cream is a real mish mash of chocolate treat goodness which when mixed together creates a greyish brown colour. Why anyone decides to actively purchase a colour in a greyish brown colour can only sensibly said to love the ice cream flavour and wants to celebrate it every time they get behind the wheel. What other reason is there to buy a greyish brown coloured car?

Probably one of the classiest family ice cream desserts around. The Viennetta combines the smooth and classic taste of vanilla ice cream with a sprinkling of chocolate shards and sprinkling on the top. Much like a Mercedes-Benz E-Class Convertible. With the Merc you get the well known and well-regarded class and refinement from a European sedan with the fun and spontaneous nature of a material top convertible.
