Colour Recommendations for a Colourblind Person! - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys, so I'm facing a bit of a dilemma here, nothing major though.
I recently just bought these wheels: candy purple Enkei Kojins (I'm colourblind so these actually just look blue to me)

My problem is that my car is an Ultramarine, and I think the wheels would blend in too much with the rest of the car (the wheels look like they're Ultramarine to my eyes). Now, I have black plastidip laying around from when I plastidipped my stock wheels and I don't want to go black again. It hides the details on the wheels too much.
I can't decide what colour to plasti-dip them before mounting them onto the car. I knew I was going to be plastdipping them when I got them so I knew it was coming. I just didn't think the decision would be this hard. Those of you who are not colourblind as I am, what colour combination would you recommend?
Maybe some examples? I'd prefer a glossier finish by the end of it though.

Those wheels are as purple as purple can get. There not even close to Ultramarine. So don't worry a out them blending in AT ALL. The color combo might be even a bit loud. It'll look custom that's for sure.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about the blending in issue.

I'll chip in and also agree they will be very noticeable on ultramarine.

LOL, those wheels are a VERY different color than the ultramarine color of your car. Not sure the combo will even look good. Wheels of that color (purple) will be making a very bold statement and would probably only work for a whiteout, raven, asphalt or maybe even the new yellow on the RS1. I personally like the look of the colors black and silver with my ultramarine. You could also paint or plasti-dip them white. (although they would be harder to keep clean looking.)

This might not be the answer your looking for but those wheels are a beautiful purple. It would be a shame to paint them. I consider vinyl wrapping your car before repainting wheels. Or let someone else enjoy that gobstopper purple.

Ryuu0u · 07-12-2014, 09:42 AM

I actually think this colour combo could work! Throw them bishes on!

jvincent · 07-12-2014, 09:46 AM

I drive an Ultramarine and those will definitely stand out from the car.

FWIW, I like silver on the Ultramarine.

kodyo · 07-12-2014, 10:04 AM

Plastidip is the easiest way to turn decent looking wheels into cheap looking crap.

VeezyF · 07-12-2014, 02:14 PM

i know you're color blind but do wheels not say the color when you order them online? =/

Mr.Zoolittle · 07-12-2014, 02:57 PM

pcporo · 07-12-2014, 03:14 PM
