Colour

Post by EasyRider »

If you had a choice and the chance to change the colour of your RT, what colour would you like.
I know most will say they like the colour it is. But if you wanted a colour change, which colour.

I have found 2 colours i like. They are both still classed as Black, but in the sunlight the colour come alive like the carbon black does (blue). I need to keep to a colour where it will still be classed as black with the DVLA.
I want to use a colour that looks elegant more than sporty.

My wife likes the Blood Black.

The first is called "Blood Black" and the second is called "Solar Black"

Blood Black is very close to the colour used on Lexus cars, which i've added a photo of first.
