These taken with a little bit of cloud above and are the 2 best pictures I have that reflect what my eye saw on the day.

Here's a few color photos I took today at the Santa Clarita / Los Angeles test drive event.
Before viewing the Grenadier in person, I was leaning towards Shale Blue, however seeing them
in person, now giving serious consideration to both the Eldoret Blue with a Scottish White roof or
a Scottish White with an inky black roof. I like the black contrasts against each of these paint colors.
The Sterling Silver also offers a nice contrast to the black trim too. I found the Scottish White color
to be a very nice rich looking ivory when looking at it on an angle and then when you walked
straight up to it, it turned into a brighter white. The Sterling Silver also changes from a very light
silver in the shade to a light metallic blue when the sun and blue sky is reflecting off of it.
Enjoy the photos. DaBull

At the event this week outside of Los Angeles, the Britannia Blue looked almost black — both on the Jerry can and the one vehicle on the ramp. This is the color I’m planning on, but now I’m having second thoughts. Has anyone seen one in the flesh and thought it looked blue/navy?

All the dark colours look black until you get right up to them in the sun.

Hi Aurans, I was at the Los Angeles Test Drive event and personally viewed and walked around the Britannia Blue Grenadier on the rack. Your correct in that Britannia Blue is an extremely dark blue. In the shade it looked almost black. In the sun you can see it is a very dark blue which does look elegant. In a perfect world, it would be one shade lighter, however I think if it was optioned with a white roof, then the blue would stand out more and it likely be a classic and winning combination. The one they had at the event will likely be at the upcoming San Diego event. It may be worth the long drive to view it and the other colors in person. DaBull

Thanks, DaBull. I have the same thoughts about the white roof, which is also part of my current practice build. Wish I could get to the SD event, but unfortunately, I won’t be able to. My gut is telling me to stick with Britannia.

Go a lighter colour - they look better in all respects!

The red looks fantastic on a sunny day

It is the config I chose and saw quite a difference between it and a black on next to it.

Certainly a consideration, but I’d prefer not to look even more like another G Wagon or Defender.

These are good problems to have.

I was pleasantly surprised by the colors in person. Granted it was bright day in Bridgeport, TX, but every color was more attractive in person than on the screen. The red and magic mushroom surprised me the most, in a positive way. I do wish that the green was lighter. It appeared black until close inspection when I was in the shade. I am at a loss on what to choose… original thought was light blue/white top… now I’m thinking MM/blank top… decisions…

Hopefully these mediocre photos help others….

After grappling with colour choice, initially only off the Grenadier Configurator, then from photos/videos taken by forum members of the cars & "jerry cans" and finally my eyes seeing the cars in person at drive days; I strongly advise all who are yet to choose: SEE THE CARS IN PERSON before making a decision.

Too late, but I already made the correct choice (Magic Mushroom)

MM is a lovely colour - with a hint of pink - with a military overtone - a bit of operation Desert Storm in it

When I saw the MM in real life, I immediately thought of Desert Storm for the colour!

I picked it because imo it contrasts nicely with any black bits on the car, was too cheap for the black roof tough
