My favs are:

1. LPB
2. IBM
3. Sherwood Green
4. Seafoam Green

All with tort guards. Ironically, I own a Black '62 AVRI and a 3TB '65 AV, so I'm still looking.
It is the scent of garlic that lingers on my chocolate fingers.

Ocean Turquoise Metallic/Lake Placid Blue are my faves.

Out of the four listed, I like them in this order: Surf Green, Seafoam Green, Sonic Blue, and Daphne Blue

I love the pale Fender pastels! I much prefer Sonic Blue over Daphne, and Surf Green over Sea Foam. Here's my two pastel guitars:

I would say

1. Ocean turquoise
2. Daphne Blue
3. Sonic blue
4. Lake placid blue

But it depends on the guitar's shape and pickguard color as well.
For strat, daphne with mint guard is a killer
For jm, Ocean turquoise with tortoise

for me, the winner is: AGED daphne blue (turning green over the years, maybe because of cigarette smoke exposure) !!!!!!
Best custom colour ever :? :-* :? :-* :? :-* :? :-*

This is a hard thread for me, because I am in love with all of the finishes in this spectrum.

Personally, I have been eyeing a custom finish that is like a Seafom Green or Daphne Blue sparkle. Something like a mix of these:

Also, the Aged Daphne Blue is a good compromise!
I work for a small luthier shop called the Guitar Mill that has a large selection of vintage-correct Off-Set bodies and necks and produces Mario Guitars. I also play a Fender Mustang bass in my band Parasite Diet.
