      What is the default color of cheese?



      I always thought I should paint my car yellow so it looks like cheese. Just like my old Mini Cooper seen below...



      But my friend just told me I should paint my car orange instead of yellow. Like this color...



      I wouldn't mind copying my old Mini Cooper's paint job but what is the default color of cheese?

      To me the default color of cheese is a beige color. Basically that is a super pale yellow. A lot of cheese color depends on what the cows eat. Here is a more in depth article on cheese color: How 17th Century Fraud Gave Rise To Bright Orange Cheese : The Salt : NPR

      If you are going for a cheese look, I say take a comical approach. Paint it it beige, and then simulate the holes of Swiss Cheese.
      Here is a quick picture I did using Inkscape:

      I think you get the idea. That would come across as cheese.
      Then again, you do have CH33ZE on your plate and that's pretty cheesy so I think people would get the point of the color.

      Thank you for the reply! My new license plate says "CHEESE" and my old one from my old car said "CH33ZE". I like the idea. That's not the first time hearing it lol.

      Here is a plan that would allow to see if you would like that look. Find a friend with a pale yellow car. If you can do design work then do it or get somebody else who knows what they are doing. Have them design some holes between 5" to 8" diameters (standard office letter sheet). Print them out on a laser printer (don't use inkjet). Then cut the holes out of the sheets and paste them onto the car. You can even do this as a prank by using a light wheat paste.

      Heck I might even do it, if I can find the right car.

      This will be a good way to work out the look at minimum cost before you commit to a paint job and graphics. The holes could be painted on the car or use vinyl stickers.

      Of course somebody here could photoshop some cheese holes onto this car. Maybe later If I have time tonight I could do that using GIMP.

      I'd say for simplicity's sake just do it highway yellow. Would be a lot easier in the future to match the paint if need be, and I still think it would resemble cheese ~

      you could find some stick on holes and see how it looks before laying down the paint. It would be neat to see them.

      Actually, most cheeses are white.

      Some American cheese is yellow, and some cheddar cheese is orange. But most cheese is white.

      Since your car is blue, you might want to paint it white. If you do a crummy paint job and leave streaks showing blobs or veins of blue through it, it could look exactly like blue cheese. Then, all you would need is a vanity plate that says Roquefort.
