What colour should I get?

[Abe]

I’m really unsure about the colour. It actually has quite a tall form factor which I think makes the grey more honest to its shape if that makes sense. But only limited opportunities to see them in the flesh so interested in what others think is the nicest of the two.

 

[Ian Key]

Out of the two options I'd go for the grey, although the white might be cooler in the summer.

I’m a proud member of Team Grey, and I love the colour. Sometimes I wonder if I should have gone with a ‘louder’ colour ? but grey certainly suits the car!

 

[ChrisR]

It's interesting your choice is between those two. I originally ordered the grey because I liked how it didn't highlight the black trim which I thought was a bit excessive. But I worried that the grey was quite dark, almost black, and I've never liked black cars.

When I went for a test drive they had the white available and I found I preferred it to the grey. The black trim wasn't as overbearing in the flesh as compared to photos. I bought the white.

Then when I went to pick it up they had a silver in the yard. It looked great and I think it's the colour I prefer most but it was too late to change. The silver does tone back the contrast with trim a bit and somehow seems to fit an electric car better.

The red is soo good

I really love my red it really pops in the sun, but be warned it's a nightmare to colour match.
I really like the white .

 

[Abe]

Thanks for the responses. Definitely food for thought. Hasn’t made the choice any easier though!

I think practical-wise white is probably better. But the grey looks classier to my eyes and a little more ‘honest’ to its actual shape. Maybe more of an Urus look?

Red paint seems to suffer the most in the Australian sun.

I was dead set on orange but then saw one and it was too much for me.

I did think of some alternative names for the colours:

Vader black
Safety orange
Communist red
Brexit blue
Fridge white

Can’t think of one for grey or silver. Anyone?

If you like both grey and white then go for the white, it's cheaper.
(and it'll match your washing machine )

Car parks are full of Monochromatic boxes on wheels. Be a shade braver ?

Ok quick update as I’ve just had to pick colour on the spot.
If you remember I picked a blue one first, then the showroom had a black phase 1/Mk1 no rear wiper etc that’s been bugging me constantly.
Anyway I emailed her few days since and she’s just replied saying ok the black one in the showroom IS BRAND NEW but if I don’t want it then to let her know asap as she can release it to a customer today as there’s a waiting list for the black one. (first I’ve heard through all this btw).
So - the lady said- pick a colour- it’s going to be 16-20 weeks whichever colour. ?‍ so I picked Camden Grey
That’s the colour I’ve gone for and I won’t get it for 16-20 weeks which could end up being my birthday Feb ? ?‍ ?‍ ?

My whole family (apart form my wife) thought I had ordered the Grey .. Have had Black and White cars / Even had British racing Green (Nice!) but the MG didn't offer Green in the UK at the time (Now Matt Green for the X-Power)...

Everyone was 'shocked' we went for the Orange ... Yeap I've been Tango'd .. But I like the fact that in a car park its a breath of freshness via the Colour - Especially on a Dull non shiny day in the UK

Be happy in your Choice - Ive seen some pics of the White in Oz & I have to Say - Based on your Vote options Ive gone for White

The RED is very nice in person, has a depth of colour... White and black show the dust, grey is a fine compromise

 

[Rolfe]

Monochrome cars are boring. Blue or red.

Suits me Rolfe (sorry sp) as I am a very quiet boring person tbh ?

Abe

I like the red the best but a fortune teller told me years ago never to drive or buy or own a red car.
I know but just in case ?

Greys called something else somewhere else (useless I know) but it’s a gorgeous silver grey not in Uk. The orange is too much for me I don’t like attention and the red I can’t for fortune teller reasons. I loved the blue but fam disagreed and saw one in daytime and changed mind .
Ian -Gliding Grey? Gorgeous Grey? Haha Go go Grey?

Greyyyyyy-te ?‍

[Artful]

Its ashame they dont do Silver in the UK like they do in New Zealand I had to have White or Blue due to my limit on my salary sacrifice the other half has a blue car so I thought I had better go white but now I think I would rather have had the Holborn Blue. But White its staying.

Honestly still can’t decide. Might sneak down to the dealership for a quick look.
