Sometimes subtle is the best:

(That hatch angle looks a little steep to me)

Another aspect of camo is called 'counter-shading'. In The Big Room, things tend to be lit from the top and shaded on the bottom. Imagine a car that shows a lot of inner wheelwell with wide whitewalls and the wells painted white. Then the roof is Slate grey and the are 3 shades of gray in-between. The car would be just as visible (moreso?), but would have an ethereal, ghostlike quality. To go subtle, and since you don't have much in the way of wheelwells, medium to dark body color with a lighter rocker panel stripe with a wavy edge.


My favorite, and the most manly, shade of pink is Mountbatten pink.

Just don't drive it at twilight.
