Yeah, I'm going to disagree with that. It looks horrendous in bright yellow!

Personally, I like the late 90s C36 AMG in dark green.

These happen to be my favorite colors, minus the frozen berry mett'.
 
It's a funky color, even by Porsche standards, but I love the new Lizard Green on the 991.2 GT3 RS. Even the body color matching green stripe on the wheels and seat inserts. It's so over the top!

I'm loving the new Blue Metallic on the 2018 Ford Focus ST. Anytime I think of Ford's blue, it's always the deep blue.
Agree, that looks great. That and the previous Kona Blue were nice. I prefer the darker blues on the Ford, unfortunately at the time I bought my Fiesta ST, all they had was the Performance Blue, which is a little more purple than I like. Seems as though blue isn't available on the Fiesta ST at all!

But I like to think my car has a similar shade to this beauty:

Speaking of which, they should bring back a shade of purple!

Green is my favourite colour, but a classic brown Porsche, sends me back to my childhood. Nothing better.
 
American cars of the 1950's were just dripping with color. And almost any color looked good on them like pinks, greens, purples, turquoise, etc.
