so, all the time thenWith my South African background I do like the Springbok coloured version, however I'd be slightly annoyed getting into it everytime we lost to the All Blacks .
Even the Wobblies can beat the Saffa’s these daysso, all the time then
Living in dubai, we see temps of 45-50s (C) or 120s (F)hroughout the summer , I’m worried about the contrast black roof cooking me during those months , I’m thinking to install a tint or something not sure what can work to reduce roof heat. I’m also really hoping ineos put in a real ac with a strong compressor..I really need to see them side by side. I love the look of the MM with the black roof, but being so close to hell (living in the desert, we're only a few degrees cooler than hell in the summer), I really need MM with a white roof!
James, so many people don't understand color and human perception of color. It's an incredibly complex subject. The points you make are spot on, especially on how each stage of color reproduction adds it own biases.My 2c on colour and photos…
there is no ‘unrendered’ or accurate photo. Cameras all adjust white balance, colour, saturation and hue for a start, and there’s no ‘zero’ point for any of that. Then there’s the light around the car and photographer (hence silver often looking blue, because it’s often photographed on a sunny day, reflects blue sky). All colours reflect their environment to differing degrees.
then there’s filters, or ‘rendering’, and effects added sometimes, and always in professional content, including ineos’.
finally, monitors have all the same attributes and add their own layer of change.
in short, there’s no chance of an accurate impression until you see the car. And then again when its cloudy, or when its not freshly washed, because that’s infrequent (especially when we get droughts again!) But I agree that they’re all good colours, which lowers the risk a fair bit.
The choice, at least for me, has been very difficult. Hot country, so like rovingoz ‘im only looking at the light colours. Still have been through many changes of mind. Too much time to think
My take:currently debating Magic Mushroom, Sela Green, Brittannia Blue, and Scottish White
sorry, mine is red with a black roof too - so 3 of us...!Nice to hear that. So there will be at least two red ones on the streets
Mine will have a black roof so we can’t exchange them by accident.
Keep in mind that the camera will have altered the colour, your monitor settings will alter it again and every separate human sees colours differently due to the physical differences in eyes and the number and types of rods & cones in them.Thanks for all of the "real life" pictures. It's helping with the color decision, as IG's site appears to be a bit off in their hues.

Yes, completely agreed, however on my same screen the IA site's hues are definitely different than the real life pictures (video is best IMHO like with the YouTube video of the MM, as the MM was shown in so many different shades of daylight, it was very helpful to see).
