Some colours just don't suit certain cars not that your a girl but take pink for example it just does not suit the tr7 maybe a micra but not our beloved car.
Browns, oranges Green date the car very quickly, it's a modern looking car still and the right colour can almost make the car dateless.
On a personal preference "Burgundy" matallic Triumph did use this colours and when it's in sparkling form it looks the bizz can't say i've seen any survivors in this colour.
Some of the modern BMW mettallic Blue's and Black can also look good. but it is personal choice.
Again IMHO darker or solid colours rather than washed out paler colours look better.

definetly not PINK!
