I'll wait until my dealer actually gets the samples in FL. Hopefully the samples delivered to the dealer ACUALLY match the cars when they come in. Looking at colors online are never accurate.

That's the smart call, we could all drive ourselves crazy second-guessing our own choices until we see the colours in the flesh! (Having said that, it is fun to chat about all things Emira...)

Agree - it has a "browny" element to it in the photos - it's quite warm grey, one I'd almost describe as "putty"

Thanks for these TomE - the sunlight makes the colours look different from most other photos. They are still nothing like the configurator though!
Was leaning to the red but now not so sure cos’ it looks very bright; green with tan leather would be classy but perhaps too understated for a shape like the Emira; so maybe will end up with yellow (if I have the courage!).

Yes, sunlight makes a huge difference. I wonder what effect different types of artificial lighting will have on these colors at night. Or maybe cloudy days vs bright sun. My Chrome Orange Elise has so many variances, it is unbelievable. I'll probably end up with yellow, just wish it was metallic.
If someone would take a grey card take a picture of it with the color samples it would help us all to make sure it’s at least color acurrate. Bonus for uploading a RAW file of the same
Just get the verdant green, it often looks black and you almost get two colours for the price of one !1
I have taken samples from the various "6 colour patches" provided at yesterday's viewing. The one that seemed to be vastly different from the configerater was Magma Red. One of those photos (and there are many) showed the Magma Red half in shade and half in direct sunlight. I matched the colours in photoshop and I think it's going to be closer to this version below. If that is true, it is a game changer for me. I was 90% Hethel Yellow prior and now can't wait to see the sample myself. Of course without a "grey card" for calibration in the sample photo I could be slightly off. I am currently 90% Magma Red preference. Light makes a huge difference as well.

Possible game-changer for me too, nice work! Black roof with this for me though, it transforms the entire flow of the design.

This is great !!!
I know it’s a big ask but is there any way you could do this with the nimbus grey and black pack

This is perfect, I was same as you, going 100% yellow, I was at B&C yesterday and now leaning towards the Red, your render is a great representation, I went down in the wifes Micra which is Passion Red, the Magma is very similar, nothing like the online colours at all!
Thanks a lot. I am on Ardent Red now and will defenitely go for the red!

I have a stack of pictures from the dealer roadshow today including all the colour samples in sunny daylight and with some of the samples resting on similarly-coloured Lotus cars. I also have notes on the type of metallic fleck in each. I'll post up later once I've reviewed/edited. It hasn't made the choices any easier!

I have 4 pages of notes and about 70 photos, had over an hour with the Lotus folks running through all my questions, then access to the car and samples for another hour. It's going to take a bit of time to write up. I think I might just put it all in one new thread to start with, then post relevant bits into existing topics, such as confirmation I now have on the suspension.
