Your Favourite Automotive Car Colours?
Discussion
k" my Mazda2 came in. Hellrot is another good shout. 
Just skim read the thread so might have missed the odd comment, but surprised to see nobody mentioning Porsche Miami Blue
Also a big fan of Ford Imperial Blue
And Ford Nitrous Blue
Ironically I've only ever owned one Blue car in 15 years, given I clearly have a persuasion towards Blue colours.
My two favouries from cars I've owned are Ford Stealth Grey which I had on a Focus ST - the only car I specced from new and this was the only colour I was ever going to pick
and my current car - not specced from new but I was dead set on finding a Flame Red one. This is not me, or my car, but it shows the colour well

I think purple is due a comeback if this thread is anything to go by.

That’s a great looking car in that shade of Orange. It was quite a rare shade and much better in my opinion than the lighter Orange that Ford offered and seemed to be more popular. I’ve only ever owned 1 Orange Car and that was a 1979 Mirafiori Sport

I had been seeing a few Range Rovers recently in their 'Byron Blue' colour, which caught me off guard as they are generally not a car im very bothered about but I have to say, in the low evening sun, they looked absolutely stunning.
So, wanted to make a thread about your favourite automotive car colours? Can be anything from history, mundane to the exotic, but lets say it has to be a paint colour and not make this a livery thread, no liveries allowed!

We change our Land Rovers fairly regularly and me and my wife take turns choosing colours. This time it was my turn, and it had to be Byron Blue.So, wanted to make a thread about your favourite automotive car colours?

A fantastic colour, and my favourite over every colour I've had. A close runner up has to be a Chromaflare flip paint call Monogram Typhoon that I had on a 2004 MG ZT-T V6. A blue/green/purple colour depending on the light and angle.

Has anyone ever wondered where they get the names for these colours/ Some (like aubergine and petrol blue) for example are sort of self explanatory, but some of the others???
I think Land Rover have geographic themed colours.Santorini Black. I guess volcano based Greek island.
Corrie Grey. I think it's something to do with Welsh slate.
Kaikoura Stone. New Zealand.
Byron Blue. An Australian Bay.
Aintree Green. Or should that be orange?
