Was more of a heated debate here. Shale Blue vs. Inky Black. Silver was (her) second choice*. May add a SB accent if I can figure out how to keep it from looking like we got parts from the junk yard.
It was a leap of faith that really paid off!
I surprised myself and ordered Shale Blue after seeing it at the offroad test. Went with the white roof and splurged on the red ladder. My kid says it looks like "Captain America's Jeep".
Hi HandWringer, Congrats on the Shale Blue Color Combo. It will look incredible.
My favourite at 4% tooJust a bit of useless or useful information for you on the uptake of certain colours. This is just me, not the UK but it will give you an idea of how popular your colour is. I've rounded the percentages up or down for ease of reading.
My favourite is sitting 2nd bottom
Donny Grey 34%
Inky Black 18%
Queens Red 9%
Sela Green 9%
Sterling Silver 7%
Britannia Blue 7%
Shale Blue 5%
Scottish White 4%
Magic Mushroom 4%
Eldoret Blue 3%
I so want a stripy one now!! remindes me of the paul smith defender (I know someone will reply with the polo harlequin!)
I have Shale Blue too in Florida, a beautiful unique color which looks particularly good on the IG. Everyone I show it to first words,"Great Color" White, Grey, Black most popular? common folks boring!
Kind of surprised by lack of Inky Black overall.
Add one more to the list for Queens Red.
Queens Red is a great color, interesting that it is not only the lowest globally, but also in our small sample of US buyers
My first vehicle was a second hand umpteen years old at that time 4 sp manual '72 Ford Courier with a second paint job and an aftermarket "Montgomery Ward under the dash AC unit" - a dull Crimson Red (I was a student at Alabama at the time so it fit well). Can't say I was much in love with the color then - not my choice but it was what Dad gave me to drive. This time around when I had the choice ... just kept coming back to Queen's Red - so different from the others. Life comes full circle
Queens Red looks beautiful. Can’t say why I didn’t go for it myself. Very nearly did but DG won on the day.
These are Johnny's vehicles. One piece at a time.View attachment 7832436
Yup. Known as the Golf Harlequin over here. When I first saw one, I thought ... brilliant. 1. You'll always spot your car across the parking lot, and, 2. If body repairs ever need to be done, colour-matching doesn't matter!
I remember these. Sales stimuli such as this [zero-added feature special editions (colour, stickers)] seem to signal curtains for a model. The maker wringing the model's neck.View attachment 7832436
