As far as the shades of brown, agreed that some are nasty! But , the latest GT3 in Anthracite Brown Metallic is very cool...Here is one for sale on RL right now:

^^^ Dang that is the sweetest brown... looks like I am swayed easily!
But from a quick google search, you need black wheels and looks better on the cars with spoilers... guess it tones down some of the flash.

I've been feeling this way more and more recently. Not sure if it's a fad in my own mind, or I'm actually more open minded than I thought. The key for me when having these odd colours is keeping it very well maintained. For example, the pinks, pastel greens, etc look amazing when the finish looks 10ft deep. When these colours are hazy or flat looking, they lose their appeal.

Have to agree 100%. It bothers me when I see any true sports car even slightly dirty.

Love this. Don't think I could ever own it, but I think it looks great.

Ruby stone red, the colour of car you drive when you aren't brave enough to tell your wife you prefer sex with men

Interested in others thoughts on this really spectacular and rare shade.
Always said Porsches look good in any colour. Clearly I was wrong.

I like it. Porsche has a long tradition of outrageous colours. Ruby stone is a colour that is very tough to photograph accurately and looks better in reality. As usual it looks best on the cars from the era in which it was offered.

Too Pink for me. Kind of looks like Barbies 911. I actually like the wild colors usually, but this one is just not for me.
