Cars that look best in odd colors

[R5]

I think you're done for the night. There's a hard top MINI local to me with the same sort of paint job, and it just doesn't suit it really. I don't think it suits any car, not even TVRs but hey...

 

[Fastcarguy]

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.

I think that works really nicely. Chameleon paint doesn't work on most cars but I like this Mini.

...Not even TVRs...

Now I am done. If you think those paints don't work on TVR's, that's just your opinion. Well, GG. Off to bed I go.

 

[lxmmy]

Purple on a Levin? Yes please.

....Aaaaand sold. This works.

And so is this!

I'm too not fond of the paint on the Alpina B12.

Dakar Yellow

They don't. It's just yet another gimmick to make the cars seem more like a caricature of an actual TVR, especially with the later models which were stupid for the sake of being stupid.

I'm not the biggest fan of the Hellcat, but I must admit it looks pretty nice in Plum Crazy purple.

This is a classic Dodge color and one of my personal favorites, too.

Related side story... at a gas station years back a guy in a purple Challenger said the gold wheels on my STI looked kinda silly. I laughed, because I thought he was joking. I don't think he was joking.

​

Way to expose Dakar Yellow and make it look like a different shade entirely. That's far too saturated to represent Dakar properly.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

I was gonna say, Dakar Yellow is that greeny-yellow hue isn't it?

 

[TheCracker]

'Austin Yellow' is that slightly greeny metallic yellow BMW colour. Dakar Yellow is quite a flat almost washed out yellow.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

Ahh I know which one you mean now, also available on E36s too if I'm not wrong? If so then yeah, that's a bit too bright of an example really.

 

[SPhilli911]

Another weird factory Porsche color: Amethyst Metallic

 

[Heldenzeit]

you could order a C4 in purple too. Don't think I've ever seen one though.

 

[lxmmy]

Deep Purple​

 

[JR98]

"Gotta Have It Green" Mustang Boss 302

"Panther Pink" Dodge Charger R/T

 

[Nico_Ble99]

Deep Purple​

EDIT: @lxmmy, is Deep Purple the real name of the colour? If not, is the name "findable" on the web? The purple is too awesome.

It seems to be the name as searching "Deep Purple RS6" brings up the same car

The first picture in the second row seems to reveal the name tho: Merlin Purple. God that's such a beautiful colour, I just can't get over it, haha.

Thanks though!

 

[JR98]

One car I would have in purple before any other colour is the R33 GT-R. Just suits the car so well!

 

[lxmmy]

Sunburst Gold

​

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

I really like the Skyline GT-R in yellow.

I really like the Skyline GT-R in yellow.

I'm suprised how well the R34 looks in yellow. Works on the R35 as well IMO.

 

[SPhilli911]

The legendary Lancia Stratos came in some odd colors that fit the unique car so well.

Light Blue (I can't seem to find the official color name)

And Pistachio Green

 

[lxmmy]

Light Blue (I can't seem to find the official color name)

It's called 'Azzurro'.

 

[Bo]

I wouldn't call either particularly odd, just a product of their time. Show me any 1970s sports car or supercar that wasn't available in some form of loud green/blue/yellow et cetera. Odd perhaps for a modern car, but vibrant colours are making a bit of a comeback.

I won't argue with that, the color isn't odd on that particular car. Think I might be misinterpreting the purpose of this thread.

In my opinion most cars look best in bright yellow:

Generally seems to bring out car's lines best for me. Also a bright colour so your car will be more visible and people will be less likely to crash into you, especially if you've parked your car on an unlit road at night.

 

[Bo]

I like bright yellows that have a solid darker tinge to them, a bit like that S2000.

 

[Heldenzeit]

I like yellow too. Especially on cars that you don't usually see in bright colors, like GT cars.

 

[LivingWithGames]

Okay, time for a proper car in purple. I looked at other, Doesn't fit on Aventador and other Lamborghini's. But this car, my favourite of them - does it just well.

Seriously, it's hard to not look at i. It fits the Diablo perfectly. Belissimo.

I also bring a VT 6.0 with an odd color alright - Viola Ophelia, quite the nice purple metallic shade.

EDIT: Found one in Light Blue. Wow.
