1) This isn't even about whether it looks good or not—leave that to the art critics. I'm no critic myself, and clearly you aren't either.
2) The actual argument here is whether there's any connection between those two colors or if they just don't go together.
3) I already laid out the proof showing there is a link. The link is the Gulf sponsor, who's been using those two colors for decades.
4) The way you phrased your post that started this whole mess makes it seem like someone just picked a random shade of light blue and slapped it on the car.
5) To make things even more tragic, because you're so headstrong and refuse to back down from anything you post, you're just doubling down on this idea that the color was random and looks terrible.
6) The President doesn't like stubborn women, he doesn't like forum fights, and he doesn't like conflict in general. So maybe think about whether you want to keep this going, or if you'll just be nice—like a proper forum member the President actually likes—and admit he's right and you were wrong to say "they don't match."
😂
Yeah, I'm stubborn—pretty much just as much as you are, Mr. President.
1) My comment was purely about aesthetics. How do you know I'm not an art critic if you're admitting you aren't one?
2) You say there's a connection because of the sponsor, and fine, sure, there is. But that's not a counter-argument to the fact that the combo looks ugly. In this free country, I'm gonna say it looks ugly, and I'll also say there's no connection between the colors simply because I feel like saying so. That's my plan for the future, too. Sorry not sorry.
3) Okay. Whatever.
4) Someone definitely just picked that blue at random and stuck it next to the orange without any logic, and then these guys just copied those colors onto the car. You happy now? Is that better? What's the point?
5) It's honestly pathetic what people—let's call them women—allow themselves to be these days! 🙂
6) If the President doesn't like forum fights, then the President shouldn't start them, and then we wouldn't have any fights to begin with. 🙂
Don't push it by forcing me to admit I'm wrong; you're really overstepping there. 😁

You just have to pair the right shades. Personally, what bothers me is that the blue is cold (sort of grayish), while the orange is warm. They had much better combinations in the past.
Exactly, the issue is how bright one color is compared to how washed out the other is. For example, last year when they used dark blue with a bright orange, it didn't look totally disastrous. I didn't love it, but it wasn't as bad as this.

Even if things go totally south, it’s still McLaren. Once they actually start performing like we expect them to—then and only then will we forgive them.
