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.

probably not the colour for a calais tho.

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
