I Know what matters is only what the owner thinks but how does everyone feel about Banana yellow color
 
It’s an ok colour I suppose. A lot of people poo-poo my car because it’s yellow but I didn’t paint it and, no, it wouldn’t be my first choice. I simply didn’t have a lot of 69 chargers to choose from at the time.
Yellow can even be detrimental to overall value but if it’s on the fender tag, I say go for it.
 
It's a great color IMO.

Personally, I think yellow looks great, BUT I think there needs to be black to give it contrast, be it a stripe, vinyl roof, etc. An all yellow car would not look good, IMHO.

I like the sunfire/ daffodil yellow on a 60's or early 70's Mopar. The Top Bannana color is okay on some 70's Mopars, but I'm not a big fan of Top Bananna. As long as a repaint is a factory color for the model year of the car, I don't mind a color change in any factory color other than green. In fact a color change on a factory green car to any other factory color that would be correct for the year is usually a huge improvement.
 
Had a chance to buy a 71 Hemi Charger off the daughter of the original owner back in 94.... She came to me to offer the car... When she told me the color I told her I would't be interested...

Instead it found it's way to the Tim wellborn collection...

Sorry not a fan...
 
I've always wanted a 69 A12 Superbee in Bahama Yellow. I can't think of anything else that I would want it on, but the 69 RR posted above wasn't bad.
 
I recognize, different tastes. For me though, that is the one Mopar colour I would do a colour change on if I bought a car based on condition. I would sand it off in a minute, A12 or anything else. I'd be happy spraying F8 over it.
