However, paint colour does become relevant when your paintwork has been damaged and you need to fix it. These hard-working vehicles need ongoing maintenance to keep scratches, scuffs, chips and other paintwork damage under control. It doesn’t take long for minor damage to start developing rust.

Colour-matched touch up paint is the ideal day-to-day solution for daily wear-and-tear.

What colour is Jeremy Clarkson's Lamborghini tractor?

It’s probably the most famous tractor in the world right now but, despite it’s hulking size, its paint colour doesn’t make as bold a statement as other popular tractor choices.

Clarkson’s Lamborghini Trattori R8 270 DCR has 40 forward gears and 40 reverse gears. At 9.45 tonnes, it still boasts 260hp.

Regular viewers of Clarkson’s Farm will be familiar with his trials and tribulations with this vehicle. He chose it for its size and power - it’s got presence, there’s no doubting that! In fact, arguably, it’s over-powered and over-sized for his 1,000-acre Cotswolds farm.

On the other hand, its paintwork is a respectable, conservative, understated metallic silver - a far cry from the bold colours of other popular tractor brands.
