5 Crazy Car Colors That Are Too Wild For Normal People

The majority of car colors you'll find in 'favorite color' lists tend not be what most people would choose for their actual car. Sure, some people dream about having a bright green Lamborghini, but most settle for a silver Toyota Camry. As a test, try showing this list to a friend, parent, or significant other who isn't a huge fan of cars. These top five vibrant colors are amazing, but we think that the average car buyer would never opt for one of these colors on their rides.

With the large boom of car-based YouTube channels, supercar owners are looking for clever ways to help their car stand out on the internet, and nothing makes a statement more than a chrome-wrapped car. OK, so technically this isn't a paint job, but it's still a color, and a wild one at that! Chrome on cars was huge back in the 1950s, but seeing an entire car wrapped in chrome is a bit too much. Especially when the sun hits it in the right spot and blinds the driver. Clearly then, this look is reserved for a certain type of person and not your average Toyota Corolla driver.

We have grouped Phoenix Yellow and Austin Yellow together because they look pretty similar. These yellows were signature colors for the E46 M3 and the F82 M4. We personally love Austin Yellow, and even put it on our list of favorite colors for 2016. However, try showing these colors to someone who doesn't like cars, and you can begin to see where these yellows fall short. A common reaction is that they think it looks like the inside of a baby's diaper. Average road users would walk right past Austin or Phoenix Yellow and go for a color like white.
