Most descriptive car colour names used by manufacturers

[Trophy200]

You sometimes have to wonder where the names used by car manufacturers come from but sometimes they get it just right.

The idea for this thread came to me when I saw a Liquid Yellow Renault this afternoon and I thought it was a near perfect description as the sun was shining off a very nicely polished Megane R26.

So what's your best example...

Most of the BMW Individual colors

[k3ybo]

Any of the Vauxhall Adam colours. Available in such classics as "A star is brown", "Saturday White Fever" and "Papa don't Peach" amongst many other, cringeworthy ones.

As for a colour I actually genuinely like the name of, BMW Laguna Seca blue - great colour, evocative and cool sounding name, and just always seemed fitting to me.

Dolphin Grey.
