Mine is good ol' matte black.you can apply it to anything and make it a badassery to look at. i have a color called 'grenade.' i expected it to be some kind of military green, but it was, surprisingly, red.
 
Mazziora Andromeda and Mazziora Andromedall, because they look stunningly sublime and beautiful and the names remind me of someone special.

Also, the Honda black called "Nighthawk black pearl" sounds too evil to be true! :D
 
Bordeaux Mica. I am in LOVE with that color since it's close to Burgundy which is my favorite color. I have tons of that color and many cars painted in that color too! :D
 
Got one called Java once and immediately applied it to my Premium FC RX-7

I also have a love for the more traditional/main stream MNP II/III GT-R's. Painted my Silvia RM in MNP III and it's positively the bee's knees.
 
Is there a list of colors out there that when applied to certain cars give special color schemes?

Like 2 contrasting colors of certain body work? or like different color decals while the rest of the body is a certain color. I know you can get veyrons with dual color schemes but once you paint them you lose it.
 
I have a Subaru Impreza 22b in Sonic Blue Mica. I remember that colour from GT2 where it had it's full name 555 Sonic Blue Mica. 555 being the cigarette company that sponsored the Subaru WRC team...
 
That new DLC neon blue, used it on my Volvo C30 and made it a polestar.
 
sassy grass green / prune montecristo / almandin red / african violet / panther pink / wien blue / nutria / deep molten red metallic / maple / camellia red / brazillia............. but there are so many weird and nice looking colours out there :D

That's the reason I still play GT2
 
Prune Montecristo
Purple Crazy
Redline Red
Devil
Imola Orange Pearl
British Racing Green
Envy
Arancio Calipso Metalizzato
Designo Alanitegrau Magno
 
I can't remember what car it came from but I came across "Fluorescent Brown" and couldn't stop laughing.
 
Cmd+F Brocade Yellow Metallic

Nope.avi.

So there, Brocade Yellow Metallic, kind of green, kind of yellow, looks like the puke frat boys leaves.

Looks quite neat on lamborghini's.
 
have you noticed the odd color names on Aussie cars?
 
Honda makes Ascari Red and Iris Red. Both are actually pink. I think it's so you're not as embarassed when telling someone the colour of your car over the phone. "Yeah it's Ascari Red." :lol:

I have a chip called Devil. It's yellow. :lol:
 
they can at least say 'fire yellow' instead of 'devil.'

honestly.
 
I also love how some paint chip icon's don't match the actual color at all. Take Orange Mica for example. It's icon is like brown while the actual color is a very nice bright orange.

that's exactly the kind of thing that makes me sort through colors for ten minutes to find the right shade!
 
Yea I got a few pretty unique named ones like Unirot (red), Rouge Lucifer (lol red as well), and Hellrot (you guessed it, red also). I really like Lapis Lazuli (a deep blue-purple color). Isotope green is a crazy color that looks good on lambos.

I am also partial to the new GT Metallic colors...I just put the lighter of the two reds on my ZR1 09 and it really looks hot.
 
I have a great red called "Rouge Lucifer"
 
My favorite is matte white. i got a few funny names like "mushroom" and "vitamin c". when i get on gt5 next ill look for some more names.

*edit

I found a couple more
"lava" "K2red" and "mello yellow"

"Devil", "Rouge Hermes" and "Taiga Metallic". Beautiful paints.
 
Botanical Green Metallic (Jaguar XKR '10). Stunning dark green. The hue may be the best take on British racing green I have ever seen, In my humble opinion. Interestingly, it looks like a matte color from certain angles. I love it.
 
african violet

From an a160 avantgarde

best purple in the game (arguably) and its pretty damn rare

Hmm.... i would argue that 'Black-eye Purple Metallic' is certainly a contender for that title. I love it! :)

While we are on BEPM, i noticed its practically identical to nissan midnight purple III... I think PD got a little lazy here and there

(They are fabulous colors, but a little dark for my taste)
