Is your colour choice based on something?

[Maverick1]

I've narrowed down my color choices to Seneca blue or Nimbus Gray.
My Dr. Jekyll says go for Nimbus grey, classy hides the dust, dirt scratches and swirls well, so less detailing/ maintenance.
My Mr. Hyde says sports/exotics are supposed to have bright, showy in your face colors, like the classic red and yellow on Ferrari's or the bright Lava orange, Miami blue and Lizard green on the Porsche GT3's.
The bonus with Senica Blue is Lotus does not charge extra, unlike Porsche who charges $5,000 for Miami blue.
I think I'm going to have to wait to make my final decision until I see the Nimbus Gray and Seneca blue in the flesh.

I used to be in the Toyota MR2 Club of Victoria (Australia). We’d often go out on Club trips — I owned a white SW20. I always remember feeling a little jealous of the guys in their red cars, hence my choice of Magma this time.

Funny though… if white was an FE colour, on this car I’d probably prefer it to the dark red.

Can't see a pattern here at all

I have killed a lot of smurfs in my day. I chose seneca blue to honor them.

i have officially considered all color options...still cannot decide...so no it's not based on something

See if this helps: There are 6 colours - and six numbers on a dice...!

If you can rule out just one option, you can always fall back on deciding by random dice roll

EDIT: LOL no way @eclat2emira !
EDIT 2: not sure where I got 7 colours from... long day

well, if you consider color combinations and not only colors then it's even more options (talking about adding or not full black pack)

Ha! Too funny, one of those "JINX!" moments!

Just flip a coin for black pack, and add another dice for calipers, and another dice for interior, and... 😵‍💫

It's a nightmare!!!

But if you start with these questions, you may start to find your answer:

Do you have an emotional or historic automotive connection with any of the FE colours?
Does Stealthy or shouty feel more you?
Do you lean more towards Sporty/Track or Premium/Classy?
Do you want large "graphics" like the vents and glasshouse to stand out (e.g. be features) or recede?
Do you have strong preference regarding single colour or full black pack, e.g. two-tone?
Do you love or hate washing your car?!

Do you have an emotional or historic automotive connection with any of the FE colours? -> No
Does Stealthy or shouty feel more you? -> Stealthy, but for the Emira i consider shouty. Also i will keep my all black for every day usage
Do you lean more towards Sporty/Track or Premium/Classy? For the Emira I will go for more sporty (so no Nimbus with tan leather for me, which was one of the options at some point)
Do you want large "graphics" like the vents and glasshouse to stand out (e.g. be features) or recede? -> Stand out, that is why i started considering hethel yellow with black pack.
Do you have strong preference regarding single colour or full black pack, e.g. two-tone? For dark colours i prefer single colour, for light colours definetely black pack
Do you love or hate washing your car?! -> Hate but I will not drive the Emira every day

Thanks for the interest

To be honest I have managed to narrow it down to:

* Dark Grey + black wheels + yellow calipers + Alcantara with yellow or grey stitching (black exhaust and black badging or black pack)
* Dark Grey + black wheels + yellow calipers + Tan leather (black exhaust and black badging or black pack)
* Hethel Yellow + black wheels + black pack + Alcantara with grey or yellow stiching + maybe black calipers (practically Lotus Shanghai demo car configuration)

And then there is this Dark Verdant that pops to my mind from time to time

I did a randomizer function and the result was Hethel yellow and black pack.

I hope you don't have to 'lock in' for a while... I feel you have a long way to go🤪

DV got under my skin and never left! You have some great specs there though - you won't go wrong with any of them.

I’m still team DV and it’s solely based on my ‘18 Evora that was meant to be a between car awaiting the Emira.

Yes I know, Dark Verdant is not Racing Green, but gosh that car looks good.

Man, that's a great looking Evora! #teamgreenrocks

First choice was blue, final choice Dark Verdant with black wheels. I will be ordering gold wheels for second set of rims for daily drive and leave the cup 2 on the black wheels for track fun.
