>>Grabber Blue came out on the Mustang even earlier and is a throwback to the 70s color of the same name. Voodoo Blue and Army Green on the FJ Cruiser is also a simple glossy color on an even older car.

Yeah, but both of these cars only really exist in one small(by size) market - the US. Audi's Nardo Grey was available(and visible) globally.

The New Beetle came in quite a few retro colors, some of which were non-metallic paint, and a handful are identical to colors offered in the 70s (granted, modern paint methods are different)

I decided to go with some examples because I was familiar with them without having to look them up.
