I'm actually quite disappointed with my titanium silver BMW now. Mind you, under the bonnet it says titansilber which is a bit fancier.

The DVLA will bring you back to earth.
A freind got stopped by the police because of this, Rover called it something blue, but anyone looking at it would say it was silver with maybe a hint of blue. Of course the boys in blue's ANPR says blue rover they see silver rover and stop to have a word.
My escort is Pepper Red, just what kind of pepper is a maroon coulor?

try registering a vehicle as multicoloured, dvla wont accept that either, they only want one predominant colour out of all of them of your choice

?The demo cars are silver,? cooed the smart young salesman?s voice.
?It looks well in the showroom. But for you, we offer choice:
There?s dogpoo brown, and cowpat green, and cameldroppings buff;
There?s lipstick pink, mascara black and all that sort of stuff;
There?s taupe and beige and fawn and cream and baby?s diarrhoea,
And one that rots your brain - we call it Huntington?s Chorea;
There?s psycho bronze and toerag grey; bipolar mauve (nice shade!);
And Mother Grogan?s water (nicknamed ?Libyan lemonade?);
There?s Detroit Red and Cilla Black, Josh White and Gordon Brown,
And Hughie Green and one called mud (much favoured out of town);
There?s tangerine-flake; alligator; lizard; orange peel;
And if you have the money, sir, there?s eau de bleeding nil;
Past caring white and miser?s gold ? I just remembered those ?
And timewarp lime (like something dripping from a toddler?s nose)??
The punter held his hand up. He felt extremely ill.
?Silver will do me fine?, he quavered. ?Send my firm the bill.?
?Fine choice, sir!? cried the salesman with a far from civil leer.
?The paperwork is ready. Just sign at the bottom here.?

I know you are right bb, but what colour do they expect you to give for a Polo Harlequin?

I would say the Polo Harlequin in that picture is green, the colour of the bodyshell, all the other colours are bolt on panels. There were 4 colour combinations available, they just swaped the panels from 4 different coloured polos.

My company Vectra 12 years ago... was Ceramic Blue - or pearlescent purple to my eyes
Funny that, my dad's company Escort 25 years ago was also Ceramic Blue - but that was a non-metallic, very light blue not dissimilar to the background to these posts!
The DVLA will bring you back to earth
In 2001 I had a brand new Octavia in "Diamant Silver", ie silver like a thousand other Skoda minicabs, it was described on the V5 as "grey".
The now-ex Mrs had (she still has in fact) a '99 Mondeo in "Medium Steel Blue", ie metallic light blue, but on the V5 it's described as "silver"!

Dave_TD {P} dvla do put skoda down as grey rather than silver or they did
|

Sprinter White = dirty brown/grey with very witty graphiti added.

Back in the days when I had a Galaxy, Ford had a metallic lilac/silver colour, called cuirass. No idea how to pronounce this, but I assumed cuir should be pronouced as in French, meaning 'leather'. So that would be 'queer-ass'. So if someone asked you 'what colour's you car mate?', you had to be careful the answer wasn't taken the wrong way.....
BTW, my Galaxy was a nice denim blue, but one of my colleagues actually ordered one in cuirass!

I had a 206 with the same V5 entry.
Slightly off topic, DVLA really are a law unto themselves.
My current car has only ever been manufactured as a 4 door saloon. When I bought the car it was listed on the V5 as a 5 door estate. The manufacturer wrote to DVLA correcting the mistake. It is now listed on the V5 as a 3 door hatchback.
