I also tend to do that although I don't strictly limit it to the same manufacturer but broaden the scope by links between manufacturers.
Given the incestious, or opportunists, nature of the car industry that obviously means almost all car brands are in some way linked through past and present collaborations or connections ofcourse but some combinations seem more 'appropriate' than others.
For example my Grigio Ferro Fiat 500 (the new one) is rather obvious, my 2 Paganis Zonda R painted in Mercedes-Benz colours slightly less perhaps and there are other less obvious combinations.
There are exceptions, Lotus being the independant engineering consultant (often secret) for a lot of different brands is the perfect 'excuse' to paint a lot of different cars in my garage in a Lotus colour (although that has more to do with me liking a lot of Lotus paints like Gunmetal).
And if I just like a certain colour on a certain car which aren't linked I can be equally opportunistic as the car industry.
Recently I've read an article about the Miura and it showed pictures of one in a colour called Oro Metallizzato which I wanted on one of my Miuras, the only colour I could find in GT5 which came close (and had a nice sounding and similar name) was Oro Chiaro coming from a Ferrari 512BB.....so I cheekily painted it that.
Or maybe I'm just taking this videogame a bit too seriously....
My special Al Thani Turquoise Blue is one. Many of you have seen this car online and it's grown popularity over the weeks. I have the Lamborghini Murcielago SV in the colour and a while back I used to drive with a Ferrari 599 of the same colour. It is always in my lounge "Cruising & Driving", sadly we attract some bad and aggressive attention from people who claim we are showing off. However most of the people who pass by give a welcoming alert to the car. Also, keep in mind I don't race this car, it's %100 stock and is a blast to drive as it is.

On a Volkswagen Golf VI R, make it an orangish yellow (forgot the color)and use BBS rims. Then, put a black carbon fiber hood on it. It's on another thread on the GTP Forums.
On topic: Black with silver/chrome. Goes with everything.
