Even more specifically, how about the case of Alpine White over extended Silver Novillo? One could argue that this unusual combo in a ZCP 6MT E90 is "rare", but rarity doesn't (always) mean an increase in value, and if it's deemed less desirable, do you adjust pricing much?

i've pondered this myself. bottom line, different strokes for different folks and any given buyer will probably drop a few more bucks if needed to get the color that he or she wants.
Spec is most important....and at the top of the heap is ZCP, 6MT, slicktop/CF roof, speedcloth, nav-delete.... in that order.
That being said i would venture that lemans blue, interlagos blue, and melbourne red are probably at the top of the standard colors in terms of buyer premiums...... how much of a premium? complete guess here: 5%.
I think individual colors are probably fetching on average more like a 10-15% premium depending on the color.
the frozen cars don't seem to get much love on the resale market for a variety of reasons i'd venture.
