I understand that these colors may have been "cool" in the early 90's but I have seen a bunch of late model boats with these colors.
I just want to know if there is something I am missing about the hideous colors?
Formula doesn't have a single standard color scheme that includes pink, purple, or turquoise.

They used to, when it was popular, but they don't anymore.

I agree with the turquoise!!! And it seems like Baja has ALWAYS used turquoise.

When I first bought my Pantera I was going to have the stripe repainted all purple. I even went and bought the paint. But after a few weeks it grew on me. Plus I tell myself it's red!

This is an '06 Formula. The wife and I both like it. I don't think it falls under the hideous or suck d!ck category...

What color is that? is it custom? I've never seen it before. I do like it.

I really don't have a problem with any of these colors anyway. Just saying the new boats don't really have the mid 90's pink/teal/purple etc. look to them anymore. In a few years, people will be complaining about all the orange they are using now.

Thanks. The color combo was called Barbados and we got the Silver 3 Series graphic. I believe the only model year this was available was 2006. I guess it wasn't too popular, which is okay by me!
