Extremely interesting - I may be wrong but does anyone recall as well that the initial UK data (it may have been in Harry’s video), Hethel Yellow was the most popular, or very close with Seneca. I also remember noticing when the first cars were delivered in the UK and people were posting pickups the Hethel seemed to be the most popular - clearly a difference in tastes by geography.

It's amusing that the display colors for the vehicle color pie chart are almost entirely unrelated to the vehicle color.

It's killing me. 😬

Yellow is Green
Blue is Salmon
Grey is Blue

You are allowed to edit the colors on charts before publishing 😂

I would love to participate but cannot, this entire thing turns my OCD anxiety up to 100!

I don't know the UK data, but there was an order tracker a couple years ago...most USA and Canada entries (about 200) and this is how the colors broke down. Of course, this could have been even before many had seen color samples or pictures of cars in person and I think is before final configurations and deposits were required, so may have changed. Interesting nonetheless.

Oh my! I actually spent some effort matching the pie slice colors to be close to the car colors, but I think the introduction of additional data cause the Google Chart to shift or something. @VL3X @KCMO68_510 fyi... sorry for the aneurisms!

What's the unlabeled one between Vivid Red and Nimbus Grey?

I would assume that's Meridian Blue.

Had a conjugal visit with "Winston" yesterday at EuroCar/Lotus of Orange County pending delivery. I'll let the photos do the talking but a couple of observations: The engine really has presence showing through the glass (no privacy glass) in a way that I have not gleaned from photos before. It really seems as if it's stuffed in there and takes up the entire bay. There was a silver Evora (not familiar with which silvers were offered on the Evora) next to my Osmium and side by side you can definitely see the blue cast to the Osmium which I prefer. There was a Verdant/Tan in the showroom (along with Vivid Red/Seneca/Hethel) and I thought the tan looked very sophisticated and not like any photo I've ever seen. Definitely brownish tan, not orangish caramel like it comes across in photos. A perfect match for the Verdant and I would think it would work exceptionally well with Meridian and Cosmos Black. I tried to capture a good photo with my R5 (L glass) to share with the forum but my photos leaned orange just like everyone else's! Looked carefully for bubbles/paint issues/brake disc issues but all looked good to me...

Ok, played with the tan photo and this is as close as I could get. Quite sure it won't translate on every screen the same way but if you're on the fence based on the the orange/caramel photos from the web, don't worry, it is a really rich hue in the flesh...

Great seeing you finally getting your car @T6061, and nice to hear it seems to have arrived in good condition. Congrats! Will be even better when it gets outside under natural sunlight I think. I honestly think Osmium will turn out to be a surprise to everyone. And I can attest/re-attest to the fact that the tan leather photographs much more orange than it looks in person. It was awesome combined with Seneca when I saw that combo in Monterey in August, IMHO.

Wish yours was there when I picked up my Nimbus to compare them! I also had no caliper issues. 4/7 boat. (Still haven't driven it tho - PPF shop says Tues ir Wed!)

My two favorite choices...if I didn't have a Lucid Air Touring in Cosmos Silver (very much like Nimbus - silver with a bronze tint) I might have gone that way. We'll have to get a gathering going when we have some more deliveries completed in Orange County!! I understand my car was in the second batch of six and that there is third batch due any day at Lotus of OC.

Great spec! Silver really works with this car.

Silver with white interior and silver wheels is a great spec. So unique
