[TEG]

Do they dare?

"Aubergine":

Do they dare?

"Aubergine":

May be they (TMI) don't ... but a depositor might ...

Aubergine's growing on me--but I'm not sure it's masculine enough, hehe.

The choices are too numerous :frown: I like them all but a Black, Charcoal Gray, or a Dark blue will work for me. Or maybe the current Red.

Ultramarine Blue. Saturated blue, slightly towards violet. Dark, but not as dark as "midnight" blue.

 

[tdelta1000]

Hey Norbert...spot on!

I rarely ever have seen a car that looks great in every color, The Model S is one of those cars. Even in colors I find appauling, the model S still looks fantastic

 

[TEG]

"Blackberry" (just a touch of dark red):

 

[TEG]

"Blue Ice":

 

[tdelta1000]

WOW TEG!!!! That Blackberry is HOTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!

 

[Norbert]

"Wine Color". (Touching on violet from the other end of the color wheel)

 

[Iz]

I like that "blended" look

For the record: my daughter's favorite is contrast=0 hue=133 no threshold, brightness=12 saturation=100 alpha=100. She agreed with me that the color selection from the Model S design studio is rather limited..

Ok, I don't mean to dis what I work on, but make sure you try Firefox (or Safari) with the site (and make sure you have color management turn on in the advanced flags - or have they enabled it by default? Safari has.). Since the site is HTML5, and I would think Tesla would be tagging the images properly, it would make a difference.

And don't take what you see on the screen as gospel, even then, because color is, well, hard to get correct. And of course, most people don't calibrate their displays.
And even if we had the whole color management pipeline for the web fixed, it still wouldn't be right because real paint changes color, sometimes dramatically, based on lighting and angle.

Remember the color selection for the Roadster was limited early on. They added colors as customers asked in enough quantities to make it worth it.
