I cant find a pic of it, but I saw a while ago a Shark Gray. It had a bit of a blue/green in with mostly GRAY I think it would look bad *** if you had a nice set of aftermarket rims on it. I thought about gettin my car painted that color next summer but with me having a sun roof i think it would look weird so I am gonna stick with black.

and another:

The color is a the standard yellow for formulas in 87 & 88, it was called "yellow Gold" in the color book that was at the paint shop where I got the paint, the color is 51-Yellow in the Pontiac Brochure...

The wheels are what I want to go to eventually, I think the black with the yellow looks really good...

That looks almost like the colour the RCMP paint their cars here in Canada. In case you are ever visiting or crossing the prairies you now know what colour to watch out for, as you do 120 mph on the Trans Canada highway, straight as an arrow in Saskatchewan

We prairie folk never do that, of course

speaking of brown, I had a light briar brown car once, I hated it because I always felt like people would pull out in fromt of me. I noticed one day that the color was almost identical to Concrete and old pavement.

never again will I own a car that is ALL brown.

mine was burgandy......or dark metallic red, similar anyway. i changed it just a bit; but enough to make a difference.

you can't go wrong with a beautiful shade of red.
