None of these are unusual colours on their own, but when combined with these cars, become unusual.

There isn't a single one there that I dislike. Coral Metallic is another personal favourite of mine for it.

Came here to say Ocean Jade Metallic, too, as it is one of my all time favorite shades on a Porsche. However, the picture you shared is not Ocean Jade, but rather a 1 off PTS colored called Light Green Metallic for this car.

This is Ocean Jade:

Another excellent color, also on a 993, is Vesuvio, which in the right lighting is a purple color:

This one is kinda funky, but I sorta love it in a weird way. May not look the "best" in this color, but I didn't know where else to share this neat car. It's a 1996 Porsche 911 GT2 in a one off for the model color called Coppa Florio, with a interior finished in leather color called Can Can Red.

Some info I found online:
Porsche Exclusive used this car for promotional material after completing it for its owner, a prolific Porsche collector in Germany (who, it seems, had also ordered a 964 Turbo S Lightweight in the same color combination).

It cost an additional 50,000 DM higher than a base GT2, making it the highest optioned GT cars to come out of the factory. The car was last listed in 2011 for 230,000 Euros, a bargain considering these cars have since sold for over 2 million Euros today.

And the matching 964 Turbo S Lightweight:
