It might be more relevant to just hire someone to pick a colour for Curtis. He mentioned Jim being all loaded up on red bull and coffee recently, might to time to start slipping a fist full of valium into his coffee pot to buy Curtis a bit more time. lol
Cheers Mate.😊

That lexus color is sharp. I would consider it a transitional to contemporary color for a muscle car. Wait a minute, we aren't talking about houses.

In all seriousness, I'm going through the design of my custom house right now. In the last stages. The overall vision is important in your color choice. A modern color will work great with a modern theme. Meaning, engine, wheels, interior, luxuries

I'm building a transitional house. Meaning, not to traditional, not to contemporary. A modern balance.

I don't know if this helps, but I thought I'd share this perspective because building a custom car, which I've done, and a custom house are in the same ball park.

I pieced my muscle car together and it turned out good, I've spent some serious time on design and preparation for my home, I hope it turns out great.

Default COlor

Just my .02 but with what looks like brushed centers on the wheels I would go with a middle to darker shade of grey. The Sterling Gray BMW color would look great with those wheels. I am having a hard time with color right now as well. I have a 68 and my forgelines have black centers. I was looking at the Atomic Silver but wondered if the color was too "New" for the older muscle car? I also looked at the Porsche 918 Liquid Metal Silver. GOOD LUCK!!!
