50 shades of colour – wild paintwork names

One of the biggest features a customer looks at when buying a car is a simple one, its colour. But colours ain’t colours, brands and their marketing teams really come up with some rippers that go way beyond primary colours.

My Dad used to tell me red cars went faster, but good luck walking into some dealerships and asking for a red car, no that would be way too simple.

Below I’ve handpicked some exotically named paintwork from budget brands to the Euros. I’ve stuck with Black, Red, White, Blue and Green. Let us know about some of the more elaborately named colours you’ve heard of.
