The sun was a most unusual color last night. [error]
The answer to your question was more unusual than most. [correct, but confusing]
==============================================================
In the above two examples, the first one is the superlative, not the comparative.
The comparative is formed either by adding the suffix "er" to a word or by placing the word "more" before it. With some words, you have a choice, which can be made according to your personal style and preference. With respect to the comparative of "unusual," however, common usage is not "unusualer" but rather "more unusual."
The superlative is formed either by adding the suffix "est" to a word or by placing the word "most" before it. Again, there is sometimes a choice. Common usage here dictates "most unusual" rather than "unusualest."
