Cars that look best in odd colors

[VXR]

E46 in Türkis metallic: autoscout24.ch

OK, sold. I want it. Laguna Seca leather inside with brushed alloy trim and that's my kind of daily.

Green F355 is best F355.

I'd give it a black interior and love it forever.

I don't know if it's an odd colour per se, but the Lexus RC F, in my opinion, looks the best in bright orange. It's not a subtle car, so subtle colours don't look good on it. In loud colours, on the other hand:

The Carbon PKG really helps pull it off as well. Not sure Molten Pearl works as well on the GSF, though.

Only LFA in the world with this color. It was my first time seeing it and my god, it was love at first sight. I'd definantly kill someone to have this car in this color.

Nice to see this car has a home. Was for sale for a long time.

I actually really like the Hyper Blue on the BRZ and WRX quite a lot.

And weirdly enough, this is one of the few crossovers that I think looks good, and it somehow looks it's best in orange.

Some of my all time favorite 911s come in some funky factory colors that just work so well on the cars.

Peppermint Green

Rubystone Red

Riviera Blue

Birch Green

Miami Blue

Violet Blue

Even the new Ultraviolet color. I can't wait to see one in person.

Just seen an Audi A3 in a rather fetching green. This one, actually:

Not my photo, but it's a very nice colour 👍

 

[SPhilli911]

I have a thing for dark green cars. It's a shade you don't typically see on many cars, but man does it look good. Ever see a green 996 GT2? It's call Rainforest Green Metallic.

 

[Fastcarguy]

Dark green like that on a sports car is really nice. Its very mature and doesn't scream, "look at me, Im faster than you"

Example: this Diablo

I think we can post dark green cars all day.

 

[Clark]

Not a fan of that RS 4.0 in green. :S

How can you post dark green sports cars without showing some Aston's & Jag's in British Racing Green?

I thought about it, but then again is green unusual on these cars? I would consider green to be odd on a super car like a Ferrari, but totally at home on a British car.

Still a great addition to this thread. 👍

 

[Legro]

Yes, British Racing Green is a lovely colour, as proven by this XJ-C:

I wouldn't call it an odd one for these cars though as it's fairly common choice, especially on the older cars.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Yeah baby!

Paint to sample programs always come up with interesting combos.

I love this. It's a nice nod to the 3.0 Carrera RS, which had Birch Green as a color choice.

On a side note, there are a lot of 911s in this thread. Porsche really does have some funky colored cars, huh?

 

[Heldenzeit]

I think part of it is because Paint to Sample 911s can actually increase it's future value. In Ferrari world, that usually isn't true. It's called Resale Red for a reason haha.

Most definitely. But it's not only the paint to sample colors that are strange, there are some wild factory color options out there too.

3 different purples. All awesome.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Purple on a Levin? Yes please.

....Aaaaand sold. This works.

And so is this!

Chameleon paint is odd just because it's odd that anyone would want it, especially on a BMW

Not just any BMW, mate. That one I'd very much go for a drive.

That's exactly my point, that 8 series deserves good paint rather than the chav-tastic chameleon crap.

Uh...I meant I would drive it, even with that paint so...nevermind.

 

[Legro]

And so is this!

"Oh look a TVR..."

*Gets closer*

"Wait a minute..."

 

[R5]

Uh...I meant I would drive it, even with that paint so...nevermind.

And I'm saying it's a bad colour for it, and I refer you to my earlier joke about the only odd thing being why anyone would want that on an 8 series.

Well, call me a oddball, I freaking would want it. My tastes are sometimes questionable but you''d be not surprised at all.

...

Though, I found something that can actually work. If this doesn't, I'm done for the night.

Well, TVR does work nicely and they're british. Mini are also british and oddly enough, this works well for it. There's is a small pattern, I guess. Like one of the pages or images we saw, Jaguar car, also british - looks grand.
