Thread: Contest: name the new colors of the 2014 Mirage (U.S.)

  1. #1

    Contest: name the new colors of the 2014 Mirage (U.S.)

    Mitsu USA is offering 8 colours for the Mirage and running a contest to have people name the 4 bright ones. (Well, technically it's 4 shades and 4 colours, if I remember my art teacher....)



    They're hosting it on their facebook page. Name one of the four colours each week, starting this week with red.

    So far, lots of submissions - over 800 so far. Then we get to vote from a selected list.

    The great thing is it's wide open. So, in addition to the serious submissions, Mitsu is also getting a few hilarious suggestions from people who are upset with the company for one reason or another (or just having fun with them).

    Nothing on the page about whether there's a prize for the people who end up naming the colours in the end.

    Ohhh... This looks fun! I wonder how people will creatively name the colors...

    Oh, man. They're on to the last colour - which they're calling "purple". (Looks more like pink to me.)

    And they must be getting the highest number of comments for this one... up to 2684 at this point. As usual, some pretty funny ones, and more than a few taking cheap shots at Mitsu!

    They get a new Mirage in their winning colour, of course!!

    ...

    Actually, I think all they get is their name in that image, above. Seriously.

    I think I voted for Kiwi and Infrared. Don't remember what I picked for the other 2.
