I've seen the nightfall in person and (no offense) find it a very staid and "boring" color; not a color I would ever expect a sports car to be seen in.
Never seen a dark blue/biscuit Ferrari or Aston Martin? Where I come from, if you've got a sports car (esp. one of the classic brands with a racing heritage), it's way, way cooler if it's an understated colour... dark shades of blue/green/red/silver... I guess it's an English thing, having an expensive toy but not needing to shout about it. Bright coloured cars are a little bit My First Sportscar. I see a bright red Ferrari and I think "I wonder how long 'til that's repossessed?". I see a dark blue one and I think "I wonder what else is in their garage?" ... but that's just me! I think Magnetic is very nice, but people who've picked the so-called "boring" colours know exactly what they're doing...

There is a lot of history in those colours, and if you check your racing history, silvers and dark greens and blues are actually the more natural 'sports car colours' than the new bright shades.
Of course, everyone should pick the colour that most appeals to them, but I felt someone should defend the classic shades! We're not boring, we just have a sense of history and are happy with the size of our 'bits'.
