Yep, totally subjective. Look how many folks today think any green car is ugly....Yet they sold hundreds of thousands of them. I almost think this anti-green movement is a type of mass hysteria. So many respected members here have dissed it, that others feel a subconscious urge to follow suit.
I had a Mayfair Maize car (one of the least popular cars today) and the very day I got it, I said' "I'll paint it black someday". Couldn't imagine that I could grow to love a yellow car. That color grew on me and to this day is still one of my favorites, especially with a black interior. The car made me love the color and I'd really like to have another just like it.
Here's a Primavera '68 with Ivy Gold interior. Not a green interior but not way off. I can't see it fitting the description of 'ugly' if it did have a green interior...for what it's worth.

Somebody just called me to tell me about a ram air iv firebird convertible that was just sold by Mark Schilling that was yellow with a green top and interior and my buddy said it was a ugly car and I told him i t was probably the only one built.

Some of these odd combos were also ordered by executives of various companies, and they wanted to fly their company colors. I'd bet most of these oddball color combos have a great story behind them. They most likely were not ordered for dealer stock.

A yellow RAIV car with green guts and top? Could have been an executive for John Deere, or perhaps affiliated with the Green Bay Packers, who knows.

I had a Primavera Beige '68 Firebird 400 with a gold interior and gold vinyl top. One of my favorite combos. I've seen several other 68 Firebirds in that combination. The interesting thing about the birds is that they have mostly been 400 automatics with A/C, deluxe interior, and a lot of other options, and all were sold new in California. I would guess maybe someone who gave guidance on what colors dealers should order for stock thought that combo might be successful in CA in 1968...
