I just did a Singer-ish build myself. I chose a 'Porsche correct' but rare color called Beige Gray.

And a couple months ago I stopped by Singer and the palette for the Singers is very pastel or grayed-back 356 colors like light grey blue and pale leaf green and champagne yellow.

Maybe "loud" has had its day.

Almost olive. I like that but blue is an excellent choice.

The Iceland green displays as olive but in person is much greener. If I show it on our TV using airplay from my iPad- totally different color than shown above. Spray panels are real important for the finalists. Will see if I can find a different picture that displays closer to true.
