Check out our gallery of the most eye-catching colors at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show.

There’s no better place than an auto show to see a broad range of brand-new vehicles up close, and there’s also no better place to check out the latest trends in factory paint-color offerings. One of our Chicago Auto Show traditions is to scour the show floor on the hunt for interesting new or recently introduced colors—“double-take” hues that are more eye-catching that the usual whites, silvers, blacks, and grays (and, for that matter, straightforward fire-engine reds).

Here are the colors that made us look twice at the 2018 Chicago Auto Show (you can check out last year’s crop here). Some of these are extra-cost options, or are available only as part of a special package, but all are factory hues—no one-off custom stuff here. We’ve arranged them below in roughly Roy G. Biv order (who remembers that from grade school?), with a couple of outliers at the end. Which one is your favorite? Check out some new car colors:
