V8 Vantage Body Colour Samples
Discussion
If you're colour-blind like me, and generally just a bit crap at the whole colour thing, you might find this useful. Some helpful chap has put together an album of V8 Vantage pics in all the body colours available - not sure if there's any missing though.

A couple of the Vertigo Blue pictures don't look quite right to me, like this one: http://picasaweb.google.com/116862365977477158683/...
Looks a bit flat and a bit dark?
I love Vesuvius Orange myself, but it might be a bit more California than Surrey

Sounds like a bit of a project in wanting to me, if I can find the time and energy I might have a crack at knocking something similar (and correct!) up, including interior colours. It would sure benefit me, maybe others too.
Colourblind though, so proof-readers would be welcome!
So I am assuming Goodwood Green will probably look a lot like Merlot Red, eh? Colourblind though, so proof-readers would be welcome!

That's the one, I always thought it was there in the list!?The Karussell is a bit of an acquired taste I think, not as minging as the Hellrot Red though. Do we get 'Hardly Green' in the UK? It's growing on me, a touch brighter than Titanium but no as much as Silver Blonde.
Because, you're worth it

I'm fairly sure we get Hardly green, I'm sure I saw a V12V painted in it. Can't be sure if it was, but certainly looked like it The Karussell is a bit of an acquired taste I think, not as minging as the Hellrot Red though. Do we get 'Hardly Green' in the UK?

I first saw these over on the AMOC boards and did comment that I felt I was being stalked 
(13 of those photos are of mine)
You're quite correct though, that doesn't look like Vertigo at all

Other than the Vertigo, which others are yours?
Working my way thru the smilies
The problem is that some of the colours never look the same in photos as they do in the flesh ... Karrussell Orange being one of them ...
Toro Red is another which look stunning in the flesh but only one of the four pictures comes close (the third one). The first is way off the mark and the other two are washed out.
The site is a good starting point to get a vague idea maybe but certainly isn't something to rely on when deciding on the colour!

Yup - every BMW catalogue I looked in earlier in the year for company vehicles had a colour chart disclaimer using the words 'indicative' and 'no substitute for viewing the car' etc.I'm sure all manufacturers are the same, and the problem isn't just confined to car makers

Yep...completely agree. The best picture I've seen of mine was taken by someone at Newby Hall on Sunday and posted in the Events section; whenever I take pictures of it it looks burgundy Edited by steve_amv8 on Thursday 26th May 07:06

Indeed we do - there's one for sale in my local dealer and my wife loves it. She asked if we could have a his and hers but shut up when I said of course! Because, you're worth it
