Your best bet is probably Gran Turismo Wiki, although sometimes its data is incomplete/out of date, it should give a good general idea of what paints a car comes with.

If you already have the car, you can go to GT Auto and save a style with a blank livery. Then go to "Load Style", press Triangle, and preview it by clicking the photo of the car. You'll be able to see the colours a car comes with, although it won't tell you the names of the paints.

I thought I was mad trying to get all cars and engine swapped varieties. I paint all my cars in the “country colours” and engine swapped cars are always carbon fibre painted.
Good luck to you on two counts:
1. There must be many variations, more than the garage can actually hold!
2. On accessing Fandom… my lord talk about advertising overkill. I thought my ad blocker was going to catch fire!

I just completed my collection today with the F50, as the black F50 appeared in the dealership. However, the shade of black seems off. In GT7, it looks much closer to grey compared to real photos of the black F50. There are three variations of the ‘Nero Daytona’ paint chip, and the other two are noticeably closer to true black than the version used for the F50.

I am doing this with the De Tomaso Pantera only because I think it is so cool looking. Anyway I was wondering if PD bases the colours of these cars on the factory colours they were available in in real life? Or do they make some of them up?

First of all, to each their own. However for me that sounds like a crazy task, not only credits and grind wise but also because of the waiting game.
I'll admit though I have keeping an eye on color variations for a while now mostly because I stopped caring about painting or making up liveries. I'd rather buy and keep my cars with their cool and original paintings, and because of that some cars are always a buy for me. The Civic '93, the BMW M3 '97, the Porsche 911 turbo '80 and the VW Beettle '66 along side the Sambabus are cars I'd like to collect them all.
Sometimes I just sell the car I have in my virtual garage and buy a new one with a color I like.

I'm not collecting EVERY car in every color. But I am collecting some of them. Old Ferraris, Lambos, Porsches and BMWs, as well as Renault R4 and R5s...and several others. So far I have about 800 cars, so lots of room in the garage for more still. It's just something fun to do and as such, I don't really want to know ahead of time what's potentially available in the game. I'd rather be surprised by a color I don't have lol. While it's true you can just paint cars whatever color you want, that doesn't really make things any easier unless you don't care about having the car in the previous color. You still have to have an example of the car you're willing to paint. Plus it doesn't account for the different interiors some of the cars have with different external colors.

From the top of my head, I know the Tuscan Speed 6, the Jaguar E-type '61, the Corvette C1 and the Mercedes 300 SL '54 are examples of this.
Edit: there are different interior colors for different paint jobs. The same (exterior) paint job is not offered with different interiors.

I was doing this at first, but when I learned there is a 2,000 car garage limit I quit. Doing the quick math of how many road cars there are, along with multiple race cars I collect for different liveries and custom tuned cars, I realized I would quickly run out of space. Now I only keep about three to five factory stock cars in original colors for each model.

I wasn't a "color variation collector" until PD spammed the UCD with 4-5 '78 Firebird variations. I've been somewhat hooked ever since! The worst are the BMW 3.0 CSLs. Every time I see a new color, I end up buying it!
For those who want color variations and aren't sticklers for authenticity:
I had decent success going to GT Auto and searching the "Real Car Paints" by that manufacturer. For example, the light blue (Estoril Blue) on the BMW M3 '97 is available as a paint chip. So if you wanted a blue one, you could buy a duplicate in any color and repaint it. Not every color is available, though.
That also doesn't work for cars with special designs (e.g., the NISMO 400 R or '71 Mustang). But there are typically versions of each color available in the livery showcase. I decided to save the 1.8 million and download a blue livery for my 400 R instead of buying a duplicate.
This is an awesome tip. I did this and found colors I loved but have never seen (or can't be bothered to wait for).Your best bet is probably Gran Turismo Wiki, although sometimes its data is incomplete/out of date, it should give a good general idea of what paints a car comes with.
