What color to paint?

Looking for ideas on what color to paint my car. I'm not interested in anything black, grey, silver, white, charcoal, etc... I need something with color.

I like Laguna Seca Blue and Dakar Yellow a lot, I have been looking at some of the Individual Colors for inspiration. I also like Atlantis Blue, Fire Orange, and Hellrot.

What other colors are out there that I might have overlooked? Looking for something on the wild side, but not something too trendy that I will hate in a couple years. Please post a picture of whatever colors you like, if you can.

Thanks!

You might want to check out these few pages of rare BMW colors for inspiration. Crap, it won't let me link it as it stars it out. google rare coloured BMW's and german car forum and you ca find it hopefully.

Another pretty blue which you'll see on there is interlagos blue. (see http://imageshack.us/f/529/lmandzcp.jpg/ and http://m3supercar.1g.fi/kuvat/M3-ZCP...-jg-5.jpg/full)

Also, people really love imola red II (http://www.m5board.com/articles/even...g/IMG_3419.jpg), which is a fan favorite just like dakar yellow. I'd love to see a 135 in Sakhir Orange, too, as I've seen a few M5s and M6s in that color. Here's a link to an M5 in that color for reference:

Ruby Red Metallic is really nice, too:

Hope those give you some good ideas or jumping off points.
