Hardest thing in my build was deciding a color.... personally i don't think anyone can decide for ya mate. If you want something different just choose the base calor and play with pearls/candy.

Go monotone, every VLC is two tone.. Do a dark, metallic colour. Ford's shockwave blue, or velvet purple would look good.

I really like the pearl yellow of the new suzuki swift. I know its 'Yellow' like the rest but it's a very nice colour. probably not the colour for a calais tho.

HINT: don't look at the car the colour is on everyone looks at VE colours..... why? because the VE is latest model Commodore and of course a brand new car in a bright colour looks good but you are painting a 20+ y/o car as soon as the next model and colour range comes out the same people will change and want some of those colours a good paintjob in the cars orig colour colour will look amazing or go GM black (tuxedo) if you must change don't choose a colour from another make of car

Solid blacks show the dust too easy, maybe a something like Anthracite grey from the VRSS would be better, it would be better again on an Aero or Walky kit.
