Loud colors require more care to keep the shine. I have a silver Merc, and while the color's rather boring, it manages to look decent even with dust and everything. If someone took care of detailing for me, I'd hit up a red sports car.

Deep red or deep blue BMW M3....

"Spruce Mica" from Toyota. Definitely a great color and from what I've heard, very similar to the green from the ISx50's

Spruca Mica is a very nice color, considering it's available on a mass market car like the Camry.

You can tell I like a dark rich red too , again it depends on the particular paint I see on a particular model.

On sports car though, I am open to red, yellow, orange & other types of fancy colours ...

I usually buy a black or white car, but I will say I'm very happy with my Matador Red.

If I stray from a black or white car again I think I might go blue. I always like blue yet never owned a blue car for some reason.

Maybe something like this...

So many nice colors out there, it is very hard to choose, I really like all shades of blue, and many different reds.....







but, bright orange on a Lamborghini is not bad at all.

For me it would depend on the vehicle. Blue on the IS-F, Red on a Porsche.....it all depends....

I'd like something like a deep red, something along the lines of burgundy or cherry wine.

Like the color on this Wiesmann
