Thinking of Heritage Green, Navy Blue, Polynesian Green, Oxford Green...

If we are talking green, I’m a little bias but Congo green is a great colour.

Blueprint, Congo, wild violet & emperor are standouts to me but being it’s a lazer, if it’s a ka kB then be bold as some of the 80,s colours for them were pretty bright

It’s funny that Burnout doesn’t like Sensation, just Winter White.

I had a KB Laser S in Mona Red, always looked nice.
Throw a bit of blue and yellow pearl in the clear coat and you get a really interesting effect…
