This site shows the general palette: http://www.zroadster.net/tim/colors/index.html

It shows 12 standard colors and 9 retired colors that I don't think we're standard. Then it shows 6 additional limited colors, 12 rare colors (of which apricot is one), and 12 individual colors, which may have been custom orders. They're all factory paint jobs, but range from apparently one vehicle in production up to thousands.

As an aside, I'm pretty sure that my car is the one in the apricot photos. It's got the same top and interior, and the same upgraded wheels.
Your name is Barby and you want a pink Z3?
