Stuck in traffic in Worcester this afternoon and going the other way was a Firenze RRS. Did seem to be a lot of red and beginning to wonder whether it's too much for the size of the car, even though I love it on my Evoque. Any thoughts?

So thinking about Indus with the part red interior though I think it looks more restrained on the configurator than it does in reality. I have a silver Mercedes SL55 with what they called Berry Red - raspberries, basically - and that works well.

The other colour I like is Mariana Black but it shows every mark out here in the boonies. However, Indus seems pretty unpopular, anyone have it? Also, is it possible to have your own colour leather to replace the standard, I expect not. Mark

SVR in Estoril Blue

Colour is always as we know subjective and depending on the car bit like women in dresses , my sister in law looks great in red however it just doesn't go with the wife , anyway here goes I do think the new sport looks better suited to the lighter colours , now for the contradiction I have on order hopefully arriving in a couple of weeks Mariana black with indus roof and indus door mirrors , I had indus on a disco and IMO whilst it is not offensive it is a tad boring , I really wanted red and as you say on the evoque with black roof does look a treat however on the sport as you say it may be a bit much , I saw over Easter think it was ipamena sand or similar with black roof and that looked good unfortunately it's been withdrawn so I've gone for the safe option ,
I was at the dealers on sat and they have my colour combo on their demo and with the roof and mirrors it looks good

Indus is perhaps the 'boring silver' choice but it really does suit the Sport. Lighter colours work better than darker ones in my opinion, unlike darker colours on the FFRR.

I've gone for Aleutian Silver, which having seen one overtake me on the motorway some months ago had me sold. It's essentially a silver with a blue hue to it - looks almost like Flick paint the way it changes in the light; that probably makes it sound all Llewelyn-Bowen but it really isn't! SOLD - 15 plate Estoril SVR

SOLD - 64 plate Aleutian Silver Supercharged

SOLD - 63 plate Corris SDV6 Autobiography

I would take Chilli over Firenze I think the darker effect tones itdown a bit IMO but it is such a subjective thing.

I was leaning towards Marianna as well, but saw a Loire Blue in the flesh and it was rather fetching. Anyone seen an aintree green in the flesh?

This post seemed to be going so well for you Mark......

but....You just couldn't resist ending it on a NOT !!  2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's
2013 Porsche Boxster S 3.4
2014 Audi A3 S line Quattro

Well, you know me, why end on a positive note when there's a downside to explore...

The Aleutian silver is certainly worth exploring too.

This is the Mercedes interior which works well for me with a silver exterior and if I could recreate it on the RRS, I'd be interested...

Couldn't agree more... that is a lovely classy colour interior..
I've posted before about wishing the pimento was more burgundy...

It's what should be available on the sport instead of the brash brothel red they call pimento...
(no offence to those who've got it.. personally I like brothel decor ..I just don't want it in my car )

Also wish a deep navy blue was available....sadly NOT !!!!!  2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's

Personally I really like Indus... contrast Santorini roof and 22's ... very stylish..
Would be my second colour choice but I just love Fuji too much plus it's better for the boring 300 days of sun we are plagued with here  2014.5 SDV6 AB Dynamic ... Fuji /Santorini Pan roof and 22's

Coincidentally today, I was en route from Liverpool airport to Worcester, and got behind an Indus silver RRS 2.
Looked ok, but not that special, because in view of the colour which is quite similar to the Zermatt silver prior shape RRS, it didn't seem a new model from 50 yards behind! Only the taillights gave it away.
