There were plenty of model kits made of the Nissan Skyline GT-R, picking a favorite is a matter of personal taste.
These lists are limited to the GT-R versions of the Nissan Skyline family.
Most of the color info was found on the currently defunct GTR-Registry.com website, when that website goes back online again I will probably replace this list with a link to the GTR-Registry pages.
Currently the GTRUSABlog.com site replaces the GTR-Registry.
Downloadable scans of dealer brochures of the various Skylines can be found at the AutoCatalogArchive.com website (provided you can prove that you are human).
The list is ordered by type:
The most popular color for the R32 GT-R was Gun Gray metallic KH2, a color that seems to emphasize its menacing looks.
The picture is a Nissan promotional image showing a 1989 R32 Skyline GT-R in Gun Gray with alloy wheels finished in dark metallic.

The most iconic color for an R33 GT-R is the original Midnight Purple LP2, a color-shifting ChromaFlair (Maziora in Japan) paint made by Nippon Paint that shifts color between deep red-purple and dark green.
Later versions of Midnight Purple would each shift to a different color.
The picture shows a 1995 R33 Skyline GT-R V-Spec in Midnight Purple.

The most iconic color for the R34 GT-R must be Bayside Blue TV2. Bayside Blue is a more intense metallic version of Champion Blue BT2 which itself was based on the blue used by the Calsonic racing team.

The R35 had such a long production run that it is hard to pick its most iconic color, so I chose a picture of a 2017 GT-R in Blaze metallic EBG.
