You guys know those colors are the manufacturers names for them right? Or at least most of what I've seen.

You can get the new challenger at the dealership in RL in plum crazy.

Those are the "High Impact" mopar colors:
Plum Crazy Metallic/In Violet Metallic (nicknamed Statutory Grape )
Sublime/Lime Light
Green Go/Sassy Grass Green
Go Mango/Vitamin "C" Orange
Panther Pink/Moulon Rouge
Hemi Orange/Tor Red
Top Banana/Lemon Twist.
 
I tend to laugh when I have all these fancy names but I got a few just called "Black", or "Red" and I think 'So creative'.

Jamaican Yellow (Sounds like the term for the after effect of doing the Mary.)
Butterscotch (Golden yellow, sounds delicious too)
Grand Prix White (The 'Grand Prix' has no business being there, it is white, clearly)
Porcelain (Makes the car it's on sound fragile.)
I Concept purple (It is Grey.)
Super White (I wonder where Mega White is.)
Bianco Spino (an Actual type of Italian White Marble.)
Saliva Red (Boxer's Mouth?)
Super White II (HOLY CRAP! Now that is really white!)


Those Random All Caps ones Freak me out. VERDE COUNTACH! BIANCO LABRADOR!
 
I just don't understand why it groups some colors of the same name together, and others it doesn't.
Right now in my list I have:

Black - 3
Black - 2
Black - 2

Uh, wouldn't that translate to Black - 7?
Weird.

Probably from 3 different makes.
 
Does anyone know if there is a list of all the known paint chip names? I'm looking to get Spa Silver but don't even know if it exists. It's was the factory color, as far as I can tell, for the Jag XJ220. Too bad you don't get interior swatches or something so you can modify that too.
 
I saw a color named negro brown.
Its Weird because the makers of the paint had to change that color's name a long time ago because of lawsuits. LOL
