custom color
I've got two on my wish list.
Candy apple red. Nothing like several coats of red candy topped off with several coats of clear.
Next would be several coats of black pearl with a hint of purple in it. Would look black except for rare moments where the light brings out the purple.

My choices:
I would keep my Sandstone Beige color but add some yellow pearl in, so at the right angles in the sun, it would shine a vibrant bright yellow
My second choice would be a color similar to the LS430 Briarwood pearl or Cypress Pearl olive color...
Colors that have grown on me lately?? Would have to be the IS300 Bluestone Metallic and the Alabaster Metallic and the MKIV Baltic Blue.....

As you can see......I don't go for " me too " everyday colors. I think the factory color choices on many cars suck....especially on traditional luxury cars like the LS430, Q45, Lincoln Town Car, etc....

I especially like these colors that you mentioned:
1. Amythist ( medium purple-gray )
2. Sunset Burnt Orange - if this is like the colors that Nissan have on their new Maxima -
3. Violet Purple
4. Electric Blue
5. Chrome Yellow - I don't know what this looks like
6. Pearl Oyster White
7. Black Cherry...a very dark reddish-purple
8. Copper Not sure what this one looks like, but it sure sounds interesting.
You have great taste, mmarshal!

Copper and Burnt Brange are closely related...actually what Nissan uses today is closer to Copper.
