Cars that look best in odd colors

[Eunos_Cosmo]

I was thinking today that post-12C Mclaren's remind me of kayaks. They all look very plasticy and come in loud kayak-y colors. Started to get me wondering...can anyone find a kayak in a color that isn't readily available from Mclaren? Maybe there are some more somber colors for hunting or fishing type kayaks out there.

Designo Varicolor and other non-standard colors are proof that even Benz has fun once in awhile.

Violet Blue Metallic on a later 928.

One was for sale on eBay fairly local to me a while back. I was very tempted.

This era of Mercedes Benz was just...fantastic. Those CLs (both generations you posted, really) exude class and design sophistication. Can you imagine the MB of today doing a hood as complicated as the one on the W202? Look at this thing:

That is a complicated part to make, and I bet Mercedes prided themselves on being able to pull it off at volume. This is a W213 hood by comparison lol

215 hood equally as special, and why I love mine.

Turquoise Metallic ZR1.

Fikse FM5s would really set that off.

@Heldenzeit that is a stunning CL up top.

Turquoise Metallic ZR1.

Ah, throw in the nightfall desert void and a fluorescent grid with this car and you've designed a Trapper Keeper.

I saw an SVO in this colour. Never a GT. Love.

I didn't care too much about Foxbody Mustangs. That is until I saw one in this rare green paint color. Check it out here.

Rare for a reason. Dark Sage never did it for me.

Not quite sure what the color is named, but this is just about perfection to me.

Looks good in brown

Imo oak green metallic is the best color choice for the Porsche 992 GT3, especially combined with a light brown interior:

I think because of how famous and successful it was, it's taken for granted that the Ruf CTR looks amazing in a horribly garish shade of yellow that would look ridiculous on almost any other car.

Could this be a Lamborghini factory color? This really looks like the shade of yellow that was available for the Diablo in the 90‘s.

 

[TheCracker]

It looks very similar to Signal Yellow, which has been a 911 colour since the very start.
