I keep coming back to Sport Black wings and Sport Red body (or a darker tone, akin to darker red but not quite. I was always tempted to try it on an Aero but never had the chance due to swapping my order from S4 to Aeromax.
Black/red or vice versa = very Veyron

Sports black wings,royal claret body?
H.M. Queen Elisabeth,the Queen mother's favorite combination! Royal Claret is a little too dark. I am yet to see the perfect red but ideally, it would be further from burgundy and claret and more toward red.

Freddy, they've tried that but, from my understanding, if you leave it unprepared it shows every finger print and the bare aluminium marks badly; however, if you treat it (with some kind of top coat) to protect it, the look is changed and it defeats the purpose (making it shiney). I do have a photo of a car with bare body and top coat somewhere, it isn't a great but it will give you the idea. I'll try and dig it out.

I know the problem quite well..for a car that's actually used on the road,it's not very practical.
We use lots of polished alloy parts on our custombikes,these parts do need tlc,and elbow grease.
I've been going through old motorcycle colour charts from the early 70's to find me a two-tone ,Triumph had some rather interesting combinations.

Two tone was very popular pre war. Oxford & Cambridge blue was popular with MG's, and there was a two tone green option, but I can't remember the names! My first two cars were Morris 8 sedans (known in Australia also as the 8-40 where they were manfactured untill about 1948) Mine were pretty much like the Wikipedia photo below. I paid £40 each for them and bought the second one when the first became a bit tired.  Hmm! On second thoughts they were never that shiney  but they were the same colour.

I spend a lot of times sleeping in the backseat when my parents had visited friends and we were on our way home in the evening. They shared the car with my aunt and uncle.
Those were the days!

Silver is a good "classic" colour IMO. Long before metallics became available generally, there were silver cars (Rolls, Jag, Merc, etc). I'm biased though - and I do get a lot of questions along the lines of "how old is it" which I don't think I'd get with a metallic colour other than silver.
