Cars that look best in odd colors

The 964 Carrera RS looks perfect in Rubystone Red, finally got to see one in person. An absolutely mint car, too, not a bit of dirt on it.

The colour isn't even the craziest part of the vehicle. 825HP from a twin-turbo flat 6 is totally ridiculous in a 30 something year old chassis.

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

Emerald Green on a Ram SS/T.

I've only ever seen one in this color in person and it was brand new in a dealer showroom.

^ Great shout. I'm sure I'll be (Ruby)stoned for saying this, but I was never a fan of Rubystone Red on 911s. On a 968 however...

I think the 924/44/68 is a pretty good shape for most colours to be honest.

The 968 has a wide array of interesting color choices. Here's one in Amethyst Metallic.

Coral Metallic:

Oak Green:



Raspberry Metallic:

Aventurine Metallic

Tahoe Blue:

Cassis Red Metallic

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

It isn't red

Oooo, purple cars?

I saw, I think, this exact car in a parking garage under Casino Square in Monaco in April, 2014.

Nope, I was wrong - completely different car:

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:

Dark blue last gen Viper over tan is rather tasteful for a "out-there" car.

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:
