Whining/ranting about colors
OK- I expect to get a lot of heat for this (which is OK!) but does anyone else think that NONE of the colors are really that exciting?
I am tired of black/white/silver/gray. In terms of the Defender, I wonder if I am just too stuck on the image of the classics which came in Portofino Red, Coniston Green, AA Yellow, Arles Blue....
Tasmin seems too 'faded' out. Pangea seems too subtle. I am really struggling with my order. I have my 90 order in now (can still change) as Tasmin/White Roof/Steelies. but have considered:
- Pangea/White Roof/Steelies
- All black and wrapping the fenders and doors with Heritage Yellow (a la Trophy Edition)
- Silicon Silver/Black Roof (at least it is a slightly interesting gray but costs too much!)
- Ordering in Tasmin and wrapping below the roof in a different blue
- Ordering in Pangea and wrapping below the roof in Coniston or BRG
Kept hoping for something new for my 23.5 order but no such luck.
Am I crazy here?

I agree that I'd like to see a bright yellow / orange paint(other than the wrapped special editions which I think are actually blank underneath - I could be incorrect about that though!), a bright red like we saw on the P38/1999 D2, a dark green, and a Monte Carlo type of blue... but that said, I do think the current colors are quite nice.
I bet LR will keep revising the color palette as the model years progress. Pretty common for them to start to get "crazy" with the interior and exterior colors as the model ages.
All this said above, I utterly LOVE my eiger grey + black 2 tone X model. It's so sexy.

I agree with you, lots of boring, repetitive shades of gray. However I will commend you on your choice. Tasmin with white roof and white steelies is the way I would go if I were lucky enough to be buying one now. I’m sitting on the sidelines waiting several years, HOPING the used market settles down a bit on affordability.
But good choice!

X looks great

The first 90 I drove was an Eiger X and it did look sharp.
