Much as "Miata" is always the answer to "Which car should I buy?" British Racing Green is the no-brainer response to "Which color should a British vehicle wear?" Be it an E-type Jag or a Land Rover, pretty much any vehicle from across the pond looks appropriate in BRG.
Theoretically, let’s say that BRG isn’t an option for the Brit car of your choosing. What, …
Brewster Green. 
Looks pretty good on a P car too.
Donald Campbell Blue
Of course JPS always works a treat.
And I always get puzzled looks when I refer to a mid-70's Pontiac Trans-Am as being JPS colors. What?! That's a Bandit paint scheme. No. It. Isn't.
Surf Blue
At Sports Car Craftsmen, you'll find this: all of the factory colors for the MGB.
I was always partial to the cream with all the chrome.

That with a red interior. Very yummy.
I'm not really interested in changing the color of my Bugeye, I refer to the color as "Blarple" as its kind of a black purple depending on the light.

There's something about meatballs without numbers in them.
Very well done.
In reply to David S. Wallens :
Thank You!
I love the aesthetic of a motorsports car of the era on the street. The era where you really could drive the car you raced to and from the track. It certainly gets a lot of attention and positive feedback!
In reply to Apexcarver :
You nailed it. The stance, the fat tires, the Minilite-style wheels, the empty meatballs, just the one sticker.

That's really cool.
To answer the question however, looking inside my shop says I'm partial to maroon (mgb and xj6).
And back to the original question, how about Black Tulip.
This is a trick question.

I agree - the answer to the riddle is it should only be BRG.
The vanilla ice cream color that is "Old English white" is a favorite.
Almond green from an early mini is another one I am very fond of

Flag Metallic Blue
'Signal Red', an original color! I bought this car as a pile of parts, with a rusty body.
My neighbor has one in dark blue, that would be my choice over BRG.
