Although I have never been to England, I found that English people like green very much. Some articles on the Internet say that British people don't like green. That's bullshit！ Looking at the style of the British royal family, we know that the queen and princess like to wear green clothes on many occasions, which shows that green is the representative of elegance and nobility.
British car brands have a soft spot for green. From MINI to Jaguar Land Rover to Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls-Royce, most British cars are painted in green, and green has become their exclusive color scheme.
The green here refers to the dark green, which is the so-called racing green (UK? Racing? Green). Just like the name of the color, racing green is related to the race, which is the Gordon Bennitt Cup (Gordon? Bennett. Cup).
Gordon Bennitt Cup (Gordon? Bennett. Cup is an important automobile race in the early 20th century. At that time, there was no professional equipment and no professional timer, and color was the only criterion to distinguish different participating countries. Black and white have long been occupied by other countries, and even red and blue have been taken away, leaving Britain with no choice. It happened that the event was held in Ireland (the whole of Ireland belongs to the British Empire). Clover is the national flower of Ireland and one of the most recognizable symbols in this country, so Great Britain chose clover as the color of the team.
Unexpectedly, this green British car won the championship in the competition. After that, it got out of hand, and the green car won one trophy after another on the court. Among them, the most noteworthy is the record of British brand Bentley in Le Mans 24 Hours Rally 1920s. Green made the British racing show, and since then, Green has formed an indissoluble bond with the British automobile industry.
1970, F 1 announced the complete abandonment of national color painting. Subsequently, all the traditional racing events replaced the British racing green painting with advertising pictures. Although the rule of choosing car paint by nationality no longer exists, the green color of racing cars will remain in people's hearts forever, and many British car brands will still provide green color matching.

Jaguar and Land Rover
Jaguar Land Rover belongs to India's Tata Motors, but both Jaguar and Land Rover retain the tradition of green color matching.

The reason is well known, which proves that the manufacturer did market research before production.

As a classic British luxury sports car brand, green is the classic color scheme of Aston Martin. Aston martin's genes have always contained pure and strong sportsmanship, and aston martin has always been synonymous with sports cars with unique appearance, meticulous workmanship and excellent performance.

abstract
Green car paint is out of tune with the water and soil in China. In addition to cultural concepts, green car paint is difficult to match, which is beyond the control of ordinary cars. Even so, green is the favorite color of British car brands, and car culture has a lot to do with green, which radiates different light on British brands and cars.
