Default What Car Colours Do You Think Would Be Nice On Other Cars?

A little random I know, but I always see a car and think the colour of it would look good on another car. Most people won't change the colour because of value, but if you could have any car in any colour from new, what would it be?

I'm sure the RS500 crew would love you for that.

I used to love imperial blue on the escorts and thought it would look awesome on a 3 door.
Then I saw one done, and it looked gash.

Weird how sometimes the colour you love and the car you love dont look good combined!

Mk1 and Mk2 Focus RS in solid gloss black.

Mk2 fiesta XR2 in yellow, with yellow bumper inserts and 13" rs 7 spoke alloys on.....

But, like chip said, some colours you THINK are gonna look awesome, can sometimes look very disapointing.

I think the colour of Broadmoors 3dr cossie (the dark grey) is awesome in the flesh.
