A very useful list of the colours sorted into a spectrum (rainbow) can be found here.

"Hidden Colours"

Vehicle colours are based on the first 8 bits, ranging 0-255. Therefore Hidden Colours range 128-255.

Hidden colours are not synced and most of them are different on each connection to sa-mp server. This leads to situations, when each player sees different colour on the same vehicle at the same time.

Colours outside of this range effectively wrap around(ex 256->0, 257->1...). The same happens with negative colours, however negative colours start at 255 (-1), then end at 0 (-256). They then begin to wrap (e.g. -257->255, -506->6).
