Cars that look best in odd colors

[Turbo]

Impreza STi's look pretty nice in that baby yellow color.

E36's were offered in Violet Blue, Santorini Blue, and Byzanz Orange.

 

[SVX]

Cashmere Yellow!

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

Cashmere Yellow is rad. Shame Subaru's UK branch weren't ballsy enough to sell anything with a colour that unique (barring a limited edition Impreza).

 

[SVX]

GF8 please.

BG5 is also acceptable.

 

[VXR]

I don't much like the current Impreza, but I'd have more time for it in Cashmere.

Edit: Barely ever see the Pulsar GTI-R in red. Japanese Classics just got one for sale.

[MisterWaffles]

These are the best 911 GT3 colours, but you hardly see anyone use them.

 

[Neddo]

it's kinda kitschy

BRG FTW!

BRG on a Jaguar is odd?

BRG on a Jaguar is odd?

Plum Crazy isn't odd for Dodge? Yellow on Lambo? Pearlscent purple/green is odd colour, but many TVRs have them.

So we shouldn't post any of these just because odd colour(s) are often on them?

Considering those colours, Lamborghini yellows aside, are actually odd*, they're fine. British Racing Green, however is pretty synonymous with Jaguars, no?

*edit for clarity: colour shift paints and purples aren't common on many cars, so they're interesting enough to catch your eye no matter what they're on. Yellow Lamborghini are eyecatching because... well... they're Lamborghinis.

 

[lxmmy]

Colour shift paints are just tacky in my opinion and even on TVR's for that matter. They look odd but does not make the car aesthetically pleasing.

BRG is no means of an odd colour to be put on a British car, let alone a XJ220.

The tread doesn't have rare or unpopular in title. In title at least.

I think I missed the poiont of the thread then. So if it was put on a Ferrari, would that Ferrari be allowed on this thread? I think this thread was about cars that look good in odd colours, but it looks like its about very odd but surprisingly good looking color and car combinations. (very uncommon colours on cars that are very unlikely to have them, not odd coloured cars, no matter their rarity.)

this is odd too but it's also

this is also odd one, for Jaguar and generally. And it looks good

It has odd though, which sorta means the colour has to be odd, which, when it comes to Jaguars, British Racing Green isn't.

Yes because that is odd.

No, you got it right the 1st time. Just BRG isn't an odd colour for a Jaguar.

is BRG itself an odd colour?

 

[lxmmy]

is BRG itself an odd colour?

Yes. If it wasn't applied on British cars hence why it is called British Racing Green.

This would be an example of an odd choice of BRG.

So, XJ220 is in it's usual colour, while BMW isn't. But usual isn't opposite of odd, it's ordinary AFAIK. Still BMW is way more odd and unique, just like XJ220 is in dark purple. Now, if somebody painted F Type SVR to BGR, which is unavailable to it officially, would that be considered odd?

 

[Matej]

I can't imagine using (or seeing) British Racing Green on anything other than British cars.

 

[R5]

is BRG itself an odd colour?

Depends on the context the colour is used in. Applied to something like a Ferrari, sure. A Jaguar, a distinctly British company with a history involving iconic racers painted in BRG so it just seems a more natural fit.

unavailable to it officially, would that be considered odd?

See above.

 

[SVX]

Jaguar or not I always found BRG an odd colour.

Sunburst Yellow.

 

[Neddo]

possibly the coolest Lambo of 21st century by far.

I don't think you are still getting the point of this thread.

Look at the third post of the thread

 

[ViscousTraction]

Nugget Yellow Corrado

Not too bad IMO.​

 

[lxmmy]

Look at the third post of the thread

Still how is a Murcielago in an orange or green odd?

 

[LivingWithGames]

Oh my God.

NEED.

So does this. Found a proper Ferrari in Gold. No, not that chrome crap.

And a bonus. Found a P540. Gold aswell, and let me be honest, I see myself driving one.

Perfect.
