Personal taste...I guess that's why they print menus for restaurants (and very few people buy BRG)

I find the Ultra Blue to be loud which I like for the F Type.

The BRG looks good on the Aston Martin, on the F Type, it appears more tamed.

As long as you like it, that's all that matters. Then again, I think my Dark Sapphire is the best color on the F Type.

And I think Salsa Red is the best color on the F-type. Agree that Sapphire is great; the best color is the one that each of us chose. Really, they all look good, and for different reasons.

Regarding the red interior - it's not really my taste, I find it a bit loud. To each his own. I do know however that that interior does not seem to resell as quickly and thus affects the resale value of the car. However that may not be a concern at all as you are buying brand new and have the $$ to do so. Cheers!

Default wanna know whats ridiculous......

Battleship gray. I think its a wrap but look at this color.....

To be the first in the country with a BSG F-Type you would take the cake.

Look at this Aston in BSG. In Audi, the color is called "Nardo Gray" and many BMW's are now even being individualized in Nardo. The color is just epic.

It is by far my new favorite color. The key to this color is a gray with no flake.

I LOVE the Ultra Blue of my British Design Edition. It looks gorgeous in any light.

Maybe they'll make a paint that can change into each of the colors depending on an electrical charge. I know there are chameleon paints but not ones that can transform into solid colors. Interiors could still be an issue unless you stick with black. It's either that or buying one of each. Each color/combo has its virtues.

I have the two tone red/black interior and have not found it tiring at all. The red looks better in person. I considered the all red, but am glad I ended up with two tone. I admittedly lust after some of the other combos, particularly when they've been detailed, like the blackberry and ammonite in the photos above.

It's kind of funny to see all the different opinions. Someone with a red car saying there are too many white cars made me laugh too. I debated over IRR which was my initial front runner and White which was not really in the running at first. Then I went and looked more and more and the white with black accents became my favorite and no other will do. All red interior is too much for me. But black with red and red stitch is wicked...then make ambient lighting red. It is the best combo...to me that is. What others think is a distant second but even as a new F-type owner I agree all the colors look good and I bet everyone here with every color has people tell them how great their car looks....it's a freakin F-type and they all look great!!

love them all..............no favourites apart from the colour we chose for ours. Only thing Ive noticed is that putting black wheels on seems to change the character of the car

Agree, and that's why I ended up with white. I was liking the car con fiber wheels on the other colors. Absent the wheels the white showed best overall.

One of the big reasons I bought my particular car was the Polaris white with red interior. If I was ordering a car I would have gotten black with red inside or white and red.....always wanted one.

I like the BRG too; I've purchased three vehicles in that same color over the years and loved them all. Blue isn't my favorite. Red I can handle on some cars but it isn't my 1st choice. .....as you say; to each their own.

Cheers,
Dave

I like the red on the seats and door cards (I had similar in my XFR) but I have seen some cars with red on the dash leather too and for me that's just a red too much ;-)

BRG for me, too. It's the colour I chose and, I agree, it looks wonderful in the sunlight.
