The metallic make this thing pop!
I normally do not like reds, but this bass looks really nice.
I'm gonna say mocha/walnut/Root Beer - especially if it's over ash, so you can see the grain. Hands down my favourite Fender finish.

midnight wine and new white pearaloid PG..
Is that a stock color or a refin? It's beautiful. If you're gonna go red, gotta go dark red.

Firemist Silver and good ol' LPB hanging out last Summer.
Sonic Blue... not so uncommon - but I like it! 
There are many colors/color-schemes I dig, some standard and some non-standard. Burst/transparent/trans-burst finishes rate high on my list, which is why I got this Mighty Mite Blueburst body for my parts-bass project.
But some of my all-time favorites are dark metallic grays. Squier's discontinued Satin Pewter Metallic is the first finish I truly fell in love with.
And on this related note…
I've said it before, and I'll say it again…if push comes to shove, I'll liquidate most of my collection and stick with a Dolphin Gray Non-Import Aerodyne. drool
Like many others who've similarly commented, I also have a deep, abiding hunger for Fender's discontinued Midnight Wine, but I would only get one with a black pickguard. To my eyes, the black doesn't distract from the deep/dark reds like a bright guard does. (If I ever had one, I'd seriously consider getting a black control plate, like the one on my Blueburst pictured above.) And if I could get it as a Trans-Wine, like the older Deluxe Jazzes, now that would be something special.

If it's any help, or possibly an insidious GAS-attack, I saw a couple MIAs on Guitar Center's used database sportin' Jade Pearl Metallic finishes.
The term I use in cases like this is "Pastel Hell".

I like it! The tort goes well also.
I have a similar, slightly darker finish on my p/j called "Bronze Age". 
thanks...stock colour, kind of a crappy pic...it seems darker than it really is ..............it was used, came with a white PG that was a bit scratched and faded, I like the pearloid..might get a black pearloid for formal occasions
