- techno-violet would work nicely, so would deep plums or flakey garnets
- almost any metallic blue, gray or black
- light grasshopper greens with matte black or military green accents?
- just not white, white belongs on cars whose bodywork you are trying to hide - rental fleet Cavaliers and Tauruses and stuff. This car is forward and assertive and will harmonize with lush, creative paintwork.
Of course you know that's purely subjective, but my color choices are matte colors to downplay the aggressive body. I think Porsche's GT3 RS green or Gulf blue would look incredible.
