Colour percentage on orders taken

Nice job @Jean Mercier
Looks like there'll be a sea of MM at the meets up in AU.

Sela Green with Black roof
The one with white roof is PT at a Melbourne drive day.

SELA GREEN is my favorite colour but with white roof! I didn't want my order being stuffed up so left out as my original pick being MM, but I later reminded myself how hot it is here and MM makes sense!!!

Or just a lot of Aussies on MM???

Sela Green is not so much of a surprise to me. Not many manufacturers offer a decent green and if so, its mostly in the upper price ranges.

Defender Pangea Green is a beautiful green especially with a black roof

colour,

I think the Green Defender looks great in the picture, looks like it was taken at Romans in Banstead, Surrey so plenty of nice expensive cars there to look at there! It’s also been a popular colour with Porsche over the last couple of years.
I’ve included a couple of shots of the Inky Black at the dealership as I know this colour divides opinion. I thought it looked good with the alloys, mind you it was very clean!

Now are you sure that's not Donny Grey......................

Now you’ve got me thinking
I hadn’t been drinking but if it is Donny Grey, I think Ineos must have got some black paint and said “Black is a bit boring, lets call it something else” who knows.
Also does anyone know when deliveries are going to start and we can start driving?
Cheers

No I'm with your first assumption, yes it is inky Black

For your consideration, here are some pictures from the NC event this morning. My notable impressions were: (i) Sela Green is really dark. It was my front-runner coming into the day, but in the shadows it is almost black. (ii) Eldoret Blue is much less bright sky blue than I was expecting. It's has more grey/slate in it than is reflected in any of the pictures I've seen. It's closer to an old defender Arles Blue. It's not that dark but evokes a similar tone. I've attached a separate picture of the front fender that gets as close as I could to reflecting what it looks like in person. It may be the new front runner for me (with a white roof... of course). (iii) As I've seen noted elsewhere, the Magic Mushroom is darker than it photographs. It's closer to a putty color. (iv) My daughter described the red as "the color of an old lady's lipstick." So, take that for what it's worth.

This location is a stones throw from the IA USA mothership. Any bigwigs about the place?

Eldoret Blue is my main choice, but "old lady's lipstick" is growing on me

While I really like the metallic colors, solid colors are easier to repair and buff scratches out of. And my vehicles tend to get a lot of brush scratches down the side. The old Jeep single stage paint from the 70s can still be brought back to new with a buffing wheel.

Scottish white with black roof originally was shale blue but they said i wouldn't get it until January 23 so i changed (THAT WENT WELL FOR ME) .

Is this Donny Grey or Black?

Inky Black, the clue is the bumper, its grey. In Donny grey the bumper looks black

 

[ADVAW8S]

The comment from your daughter makes sense as the red is called the Queens Red.

Not that I recognized. Then again, that just means that I didn't see Jim Ratcliffe. Interestingly, they said there are currently a grand total of 17 Ineos Automotive North American employees.

Metalic gives it away.

Bu that’s the trouble with the darker colours - stand back another 10 foot and it could be black grey blue green - who’d know because they are all so dark. Put then in the shade and even worse again.

My previous vehicles were (as I remember - because I had a few..) -
current - Green Met., before Dark blue Met, Dark Blue Met, Black Met, Silver Met, Black Met, Red Met, Brown Met. Blue Met. etc..
I was looking for a paint that is not immediately seen a as a typical hunters colour, and not a problem when dirty. And my Gren will see dirt for sure.
MM was the choice.. - reviewed my choice at K&E and reconfirm MM is the colour of choice. Best fit for my purpose. So why must someone take all the same colour? Only Henry Ford is some one who was quoted similar to this - choose any colour as long as it is black. Black is not a colour, is it?

A question, especially for anyone with experience with white roofs: do they make a real difference in keeping a vehicle with a dark body substantially cooler in the sun? I am not in the desert, but rather the northeast of the USA. One concern is keeping dogs cooler in spring and fall (with windows open). Another way of stating the question, how much of a car heating in the sun comes from sun on the car's body and how much from the roof?

The impact is more when stationary than when driving.
When driving at normal speeds it makes very little difference but when parked dark cars heat up very quickly compared to light cars.
In the end they both get hot enough to cook the occupants (literally)
One reason why it is illegal to leave kids or pets in parked cars in Australia
