Hi Huxey,
Mum wanted me to get Loire Blue but I saw it on a RR last Saturday and it reminded me of a car i had as a teenager with Midnight Blue. So Its not for me. It was dark until the sun hit it. I liked Waitomo Grey as well but like you I have the same feeling and some of the pics floating around are abit hard to tell. I finalised my order and eventually went with the Orange. Only for the fact I have had a gunmetal grey car to 10 years and White is everywhere.
Best Colour?
I've gone with a left field choice and will be getting it in Aruba metallic. I've had two black ones before (D3 and RRS) and think the D5 looks better in lighter colours. I've spaced the dynamic pack as I think it contrasts nicely with the Gold/Silver paint. I saw a FFRR in ththe dealer this weekend in Silicon Silver and that was lovely too. Looking forward to seeing the various combos on the road.
Not a fan of waitomo. Looks a bit boring especially as a premium colour and costs extra. I would definitely go for carpathian. Awesome. Waiting pic attached of a friends Range Rover autobiography and my evoque in carpathian. And also my new disco I get Wednesday.
I ordered ours on Saturday - so waiting for build and delivery dates.
My spec is D5 3.0L HSE in Silicon silver, black pack, privacy glass, electric sunroof, running boards, electric towbar, cubby cooler, ebony / ebony with nimbus headliner.
Didnt know whether to do the 3 zone climate or not, and the salesman said 'waste of time' as front and back then fight to heat or cool.
Our colour choice originally was metallic white or black but when looking at the black pack on black it looked like a pimpmobile and in the white would get dirty very quickly. The silicon silver whilst premium looks stunning with the black pack as the first edition in the showroom was in that colour combination.
Cant wait now!!

Thanks Huxey - i'll post some more pic angles / different lights once we've taken delivery!
Sounds great Richard - silicon silver was in the running for ours too but a RR in Carpathian / Black pack guise in the dealer the day we ordered swung it!....

I really like the Carpathian grey penners. Although I am not able to order for at least another couple of months as a "Rest of the World" customer. I am torn between Carpathian grey and Farallon black. I look forward to seeing some more photos when you get delivery. My current Freelander 2 is Lagoon Grey which is very dark.
