Lookin for unique paint colors.

Maybe I shouldn't say unique but I plan on getting my car repainted another color and it is currently Serengeti Sand. I actually like Serengeti but pretty much the entire left side of my car is scratched now (badly scratched) so I was considering a more lively color. SOmething that doesn't say "I'm old" because I'm not old. haha

Maybe some outlandish blue or some subtle dark blue. Any good pics and color codes with awesome colors on any car? Google didn't help me much.

I'm open to any color really, but I am mostly looking for blue's.

Thanks!

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I'm definitely diggin' pearl paint since it will fit a stock G the best. I'd consider candy or liquid metal if I at least had a fresh set of aftermarket rims, but all I got is the OEM 17's.

I've seen this IS350 with a really nice lookin pearly white. I assume it is a stock color since the rest of the car is stock, and the official Lexus website is telling me the only white they have available is "Starfire Pearl". Sounds reasonable but I can't tell if it's the same as the one I've seen. Anyone seen it and have valid opinions on it? (everyone know's white G's are beautiful)

And Midnight Purple 3 is WAY TOO SEXY for my G...

I think Starfire Pearl will still be pretty unique. Unique doesn't have to be necessarily THE ONLY ONE. The most unique colors I'm not really into, like Midnight Purple. My car is staying mostly stock so that will be a bit too much...

Thanks again, all. If I get a different color then my Sand, it will most likely be Starfire Pearl.

Starfire pearl is unique until you pull up next to an IS then its normal again.
