Damn colours, damn wife! :)
So exterior colour choices are currently:
Causeway grey
Corris grey
Barolo black
Aintree green
I'm not getting there with green so that's out
Too many corris around these parts
So it's causeway or Barolo black
Anyone seen a Barolo black one? I know I like causeway but....MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)

Causeway Grey is good and the safe option. Barolo Black is a marmite colour and very rare as I tried to find one and the only one I found in a dealers was snapped up before I got put my name on it. Personally I like Barolo a lot and it has a dark red/brown element when in the sun.

Dale, my choice of montalcino red was immediately pulled to a halt.
Otherwise it would have been ordered already MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)

Montalcino even better, kind of a Royal look. My manual D2 was Alveston Red and everyone that seen it commented on how well it looked. It made selling it on when I bought the D3 very easy as everyone liked the colour.Dale

Ask yourself how many Causeway greys you've seen! And then choose it! Super classy!

My concern with Barolo black is that it'll be a to keep clean, look plain black most of the time and when it does look different then it'll just look dark brown.
Whilst I've seen it looking rather splendid on an evoque under lights I feel causeway is probably a better choice all be it that is also quite dark so will be a sod to clean MY15 DIY Black Pack (Better than factory and half the price!)

I wanted to go for black or causeway grey, as all my cars have been black and causeway was close to black. But the misses preferred Coris Grey so that is what we ended up getting (not really too fussed although it helped me sneak the locking rear diff and upgraded stereo!!)
In everyday life I reckon Coris will look better as black or near black colours are a pain to keep clean. But on that day when the car is spanking clean and polished and the sun is shining, nothing beats black.

It's excellent for not showing grime though.... And is a very classy colour!

there's only one colour on that list, it's Aintree green, please stay away from grey black or white, they are so last year and drab

What's wrong with bright red, blue, green, orange & yellow?
Why is ther such a poor choice of colours offered by manufacturers?
