Sometimes, they\u2019re amazing.Colour is often something we overlook whenappreciating cars. Unfortunately, most cars today are either black, white orsome sort of grey or silver but thankfully, manufacturers haven\u2019t given up oncolour just yet! Whether it\u2019s manufactured by Ferrari orVolkswagen, some factory car colours stand out in a way that just makes yourcar look ten times better and we\u2019re here to share what we consider to be someof the best in the industry. BMW – Frozen Dark Red MetallicA rather niche colour but certainly one of thebest. Found on the BMW M5 First Edition, this colour is a deep, dark red with asatin finish, creating a modern and aggressive look.The M5 First Edition was revealed in September 2017 at the Frankfurt Auto Show and only 400 examples of this ridiculously fast super saloon were produced. The car is powered by a 4.4-litre V8 engine producing 600 hp and is capable of 0-60mph in just 3.2 seconds making it fastest BMW ever produced…that was until the M8 Competition came out.The car was also shown off at GamesCon (asseen in the pictures) for Need for Speed Payback High Stakes as the car couldbe driven in the game before the real-world car was even released, all as partof an exclusive deal!McLaren – Papaya Orange In the same way that Ferrari\u2019s signature colour is red, McLaren have a beautiful colour called Papaya Orange. Although it may not be quite as famous as \u2018Ferrari Red\u2019, Papaya Orange does have some history to it. Since 1968, this particular shade of orange has been used for McLaren\u2019s race cars in F1, F2, Can-Am, Indycar and Formula 5000.Not only can you see this unusual colour onMcLaren\u2019s F1 cars today, it\u2019s also well known for being one of the mostmemorable colours on the McLaren F1 supercar. Not just the F1 either as you canalso option Papaya Orange for your McLaren 720S, 675LT and P1.Ferrari – Rosso CorsaWe couldn\u2019t talk about the most beautifulfactory car colours without mentioning the world-famous, iconic \u2018Ferrari red\u2019or in its official terms, Rosso Corsa. Italian for \u2018racing red\u2019, Rosso Corsahas been used by many Italian automakers since the 1920s, being adopted bybrands such as Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Lancia and Ferrari.The colour became the official international racing colour of Italy, just as racing green is for Britain. Today, Rosso Corsa is no longer officially recognised as the Italian Motorsport colour but it has, however, become synonymous with Ferrari\u2019s brand.Everyone\u2019s favourite Ferrari, the F40, wasfamously only available in red and any F40 that is not red has been repaintedby a third party. Mercedes-AMG Green Hell MagnoAnother satin paint finish makes our list, andit\u2019s not hard to see why. Green Hell Magno not only looks as fresh as an unripebanana but also has a little story to it. The Mercedes-AMG GT R is referred to as \u2018the beast of the Green Hell\u2019 – the \u2018Green Hell\u2019 being a reference to the world-famous race track on which the car was developed on the Nurburgring. Hence why the GT R\u2019s unique green colour finish is called Green Hell Magno.Not only does it give this incredibly powerful supercar an energetic look but once you know the story behind it, the colour feels almost like the direct result of the brutal testing the car went through on the merciless Nordschleife circuit. Showing off the GT R in this eye-grabbingcolour certainly was the right choice, giving it a personality of its own and avery memorable aesthetic. Audi – Nardo GreyNardo grey is available on various car models from a range of car manufacturers, but Audi have managed to really own the colour and make Nardo feel like an Audi colour rather than just a car colour. This flat, primer-coloured paint finish hasbecome all the rage recently and Audi have successfully jumped on the hypetrain and given customers exactly what they\u2019re looking for. Pairing thisnon-colour with a dechromed car makes for the perfect sporty look. Blackgrille, side mirrors, tinted windows and a sporty exhaust system for goodmeasure make for the perfect accompaniment to Nardo Grey, which is why Audi\u2019scars own the \u2018colour\u2019 so well. VW – Kurkuma Yellow MetallicNow, this colour may not come from aLamborghini factory or a Bugatti factory but that doesn\u2019t make it any lessbeautiful. It\u2019s bold, exciting and is much more likely to turn heads than anyprimary colour.Kurkuma Yellow is almost gold, almost bronze and you could even say it\u2019s close to mustard yellow. Although it sounds very strange on paper, it looks marvellous in the flesh. You know a colour is good when it makes a car like the new Beetle look desirable.For the Arteon especially, Kurkuma Yellow really makes the car stand out and although it\u2019s technically a car for the people, an Arteon in Kurkuma could give a BMW 3 Series a run for its money in the looks department."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Most Beautiful OEM Car Colours","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/the-most-beautiful-oem-car-colours\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
