It's all about the contrasts and what draws your eyes first
Looking at the blue one I see the blue car then the black top. Eventually the white stripe. Blue is the dominant color.
Now with the sublime, I envision the black top overpowering the green. Black top then is dominant color that eyes will draw to.
Ya want them to see the paint or the roof?
Now the white stripe is competing with the dominant black roof instead of complimenting the paint and body lines.
