I think that there is an easy solution to all this blue&orange dichotomy: just add white.
50% hard orange
30-40% white (sponsors and lower body)
10-20% Blue and mainly used for sponsors and countours (between roange and white).
It is no Gulf (which is the best combination BUT is already taken by history), it has contrast and it's unmistakable.
Orange, white, blue... it's getting into the worst livery's i can remember: 2007/8 Renault
no need to worry, by the looks of things, Mclaren will sign PetroBras as a BIG sponsor, and that means there will be green and yellow in their livery and it'll surely be very present. Zak says they want to keep Mclaren's identity, and has mentioned the Mclaren red needs to be present still.
The interesting part about that is that he refered to mclaren's need to being recognisable laid in having mclaren
RED in the livery. Which is really interesting if you think about it, since for 2017, there was no Mclaren Red at all on the car, there was only orange, black, and white.
That might suggest that if we do get a green and yellow Mclaren, that the red, so not orange, but the red, could make a return in 'accent' like we have seen with the chrome-black liveries between losing the vodafone deal and before turning to black.
( he mentioned that instead of the fan's hoping for full orange, their main sponsor would have a say in dictating the livery, but they had'nt reached a decision yet)
unfortunately haven't ran into a green-yellow petrobras fan livery yet. am quite curious though!
