I know Dakar Yellow has been mentioned on the thread but here it is on the car it was originally on.

Another BMW colour famously on the E36 M3 is Estoril Blue. Although you can still buy a BMW in estoril blue, it isn't as special as it was back in the day. The reason it is in this thread is because it was also on the X5 4.6is. My mother actually used to own one of these alpina-engined beauties so it is close to my heart.

Moving away from BMW, I have always thought Millenium Jade was quite an odd colour. I also really like it so whenever I buy a R34 in Gran Turismo I either paint it this or Bay Side Blue.

My final colour speaks for itself.

I hate that pin stripe in the headlights so much. I'd have to swap them or it would ruin the car for me.

i wouldn't necessarily say these are odd colors.

They're odd these days.

They're odd these days.

But in the context of the 1970s they're common as muck.

Looking at a brown Subaru Legacy makes me think that brown is an odd color because it looks **** (no pun intended).

Orange is McLaren's color, I don't think it's odd. What's odd, however, is that people still firmly believe the Ferrari 458/488 is a better looking car than the 12C/650/675. The former looks like an ill-alien, the latter looks like the stuff we used to draw when we were kids.

But that's just my 2 cents.

Zanzibar Brown.

Audi R8 5.2 V10 Termulin

Reminds me of Jet Blue from the Le Mans Quattro.

Got to see a Skoda Octavia VRS Estate today and it was in this awesome green colour:

Some better images of it:

 

[VXR]

It reminds me slightly of the early green offered on the Astra Coupe and shared with the lamentable Opel Frogster concept car.

Great to see a big car in such a strong colour.

I always loved this metallic teal on the Mitsubishi Outlander:

That's a Mitsubishi ASX, Not an Outlander. IIRC it was basically Mitsubishi's Rav4 rival.

I really like the purple Dodge has.

Furious Fuschia, as they call it.

To be fair, it's also called the Outlander Sport in some regions. Maybe not the one you live in.
