Wanted Imperial Blue, still think it is the best colour for a Chim IMHO. Ended up with Crimson Starmist (see profile), has grown on me more and more, now think it suits the car very well.

My baby was a Giallo Fly Yellow Chim 450. Gorgeous car. It turned heads everwhere I went. If you want something that stands out... that's it.

I sold it yesterday...

Mine is Suzuki Candy Yellow (if you didn't guess that's a bike colour!), has a blue hood and a LT polished stainless grill.

The car appears to attract a fair bit of attention, that said I am never sure if they are looking in disgust or amazement!!!

Really like those chameleon paints, not seen on a Chimaera though. I have mine in Rosso Pearl (See Profile) looks the business if clean with gold spangly bits in the paint, looks dull red if dirty though.

Up to now been looking at either Imperial Blue or Starmist Blue but Fernies have a Starmist Green 450 coming in shortly ... anyone seen that colour "in the flesh" and care to comment?

Of the colours I've seen - All IMHO of course:

Halcyon Atlantis
Ocean Haze

They really do it to me. Also like:
Rosso Pearl
Midas yellow
Starmist or Ash Green

The "reflex" paints are very good too. (like Halcyon)

Don't like Black or Silver (although I did see one nice silver one on here)

I ended up with Starfire Mica Blue. I like that too but I don't know Electric Blue (wasn't that a film? ) or Nuvola Blue.

Mine is Jag Ice Blue with dark blue hood, seats and dash etc. Looks silvery in bright sun and picks up any colour that hits it at night, The technicolor chimp!

Highland purple is nice, not the colour I wanted but it has certainly grown on me. And that's not just because I have had so many positive remarks from schoolboys, chicks, Joe public etc
I would say check the profile but its actually much lighter. Nice colour, not very photogenic.
