I still think most all automakers color pallets are pretty limited. Because they build to sell to the majority and the masses. So most people don't shop for anything beyond white, black, grey, silver, and red or blue.
It's a symptom of this when we think "Orange" is a "Wild" color.
My parents owned a 1970's Datsun pick-up that was Halloween Pumpkin Orange. And for a while in the early 90's, Forest Green Metallic was popular.
But generally I think automakers stay pretty boring.
Personally I liked Honda's Burnt Orange Color, was almost a copper look.
But when you are looking at Orange and Yellow as pushing the envelope, then in my opinion the envelope really isn't being pushed much.

Your wheels make your car look like a BOSS. All offsetted and everything!
.... on the colour note ... just like OP stated ... I need my lime green.
Too bad they discontinued that passion blueberry purple for the fit .. or whatever it was called. Woudda've bought that in a heartbeat.

My old Infiniti was a very deep metallic green, I think it was called Black Forest Pearl or something. I really loved that color, but, like all dark cars, it needed to be kept clean to look good. That's why I went yellow for my Fit.

Lol, it's a unique look. I wanted something different. This is my 6th set of aftermarket wheels, I've had all the popular ones already... (had TE37, CE28, RE30, RS, RG)

Dude, that blueberry purple was my favorite. I saw it for the 1st time on a 1996 civic hatch and have ever since fell in love with that colour

Agree, especially on Honda's old copper color which always reminded me of Hot Wheels cars - and in a very good way! Also I love those 1950s car colors: aquamarine, teal, salmon … sometimes even all together in a tri-tone! And yellow is perhaps the iconic color for a '57 Chevy Belair coupe. Some old friends of the family had a deep metallic purple '66 or '67 Chevy station wagon - that was a factory color - and what I always thought was especially great about that car, was that it also had a purple vinyl interior! I have never seen another like it, and it just about broke my heart as a child when they had it painted something ordinary.

You went from $2-4k wheels to $400 ones? Sure bud, whatever you need to tell yourself .
