I like it. Because it seems to be trending towards orange. But I think the original yellow had
more green in it. At least it looks that way when I park mine next to an original yellow P. ;-)

My gt5 was originally yellow metallic, but was repainted red by the original owner. If I’m ever to restore it I will paint it yellow metallic again, I think.
I’m thinking that Renault Liquid Yellow would be close to the original paint:

I like yellow best, too.
Mine is French Racing Blue and I love it, but if I had found a yellow
one in as good condition I probably would have gotten that one
instead.
These cars are not your average car and should be painted a color that
makes them stand out. At least in So Cal, EVERYONE has a black,
silver, or white car.
