Default Interesting Color Combinations

I was out shopping in south Florida recently and came across this combination. Not my choice, but quite interesting. Do you have any others to post?

I love lime green but that is just ugly. You could get away with just the calipers painted but the BSM and door handles, Not digging it.

I have a feeling that the gas cover and side mirrors are next.

Here's one I saw last August. Very subtle. Nothing done on the interior yet, just the wheels and calipers.
