I'm struggling to decide upon a color and bet I'm not alone (currently debating Magic Mushroom, Sela Green, Brittannia Blue, and Scottish White). I thought it would be helpful to stake out a thread for folks to post high quality non-rendered videos of the different colors (and roof color combos) on the road, in the bush, etc. in a variety of lighting conditions.

So, to kick things off, here is a HD video of a Magic Mushroom Trialmaster in action that I stumbled across:

If you have found some similar quality videos for MM and the other colors, please share them here. Thanks!

Hi, Loc Nar, I find changing the background to the a snow scenery on the IA configurator gives a good contrast for the colours to stand out.

The best way is to see them in the flesh. I have seen a lot of the colours at a drive day, ironically except for the colour I've ordered ~ Donny Grey. To be soon solved as my dealer has got a Donny grey in.

Agreed and thanks, but that's still rendered as opposed to video of one in natural lighting.

That video is from our very own @DaveB YouTube channel. I don't know if you searched the threads but there are raw picture files of actual colors against a white background.
Awesome! It's a really fantastic video - all of his stuff is top notch! And thanks for the tip about the pics.

I'm still torn - I am looking forward to seeing the white and MM in person. I'm a sucker for that silver though.

I was like you, I had ideas to wrap the car, what color should I get but I realized that I need is the MM with black roof.

I've seen that silver in the flesh in full sun. It really has a very nice light blue hue to it. I normally don't like silver cars, but if I hadn't gone with Donny Grey I think I would gone with it.

The white looks very good when you see the vehicle in person.
To me I wasn't impressed with the green or blue and haven't seen the mushroom

The Donny Gray is really metallic black

Dave - which blue? Or all 3 of them?

To be fair I could have gone with any of them, don’t think there’s a bad colour to decide upon. My choice edged it due to my geographical location.

I have ordered Shale Blue really because I've had silver and grey cars a fair bit over the years. My G Wagon is Flint Grau and my local dealer had a Donny Grey in. Looked at next to each other the Donny Grey is quite a lot darker than the MB Flint Grau flint grey. I don't think there's a "bad" colour among them and actually Scottish White the base colour looks fantastic. I never clean cars though and the white might look its best cleaned once in a while?
