Found it! But it's old, only US/Canada, posted by @Life411 last May. Not much data after June, and only includes around 100 cars.
But still interesting. Data is here:

The Verdant was not my first choice but one with low miles showed up near me so I decide to go for a test drive. The more time I spent with the color the more I liked it. It would be nice to have a bit more emerald. My first choice was Nimbus but I'm happy with my choice.
Emerald, you hit on it! That was exactly the name of the color on my Maxima and very similar to dark Verdant I think. And yes, it was really nice in bright sun. Glad you're enjoying Verdant; appears from your profile pic that your Evora is a very similar color? As I mentioned, there are really no bad color choices for this car, maybe just a few questionable (or perhaps less universally appealing) combinations.

Need to stay on track with this thread! It shouldn’t be on what color is good or not. Let’s stay focused
My Evora does look kinda green in the profile pic. Guess it is time to change profileEmerald, you hit on it!

The Evora was a dark gray

I love Nimbus. Personal preference. Mine has black pack, tan interior, and yellow calipers. Yellow calipers plus the yellow Lotus badges (plus my special CA license plat which is black and yellow) really works imo. But it's all subjective.
Perfect spec.
If you ever come to Illinois, make sure you lock it.
not sure I could resist
Damn, that's harsh.

Sure is. What a bargain of a car for that price though
Well, it's the Superman color combo, might have turned some people away, plus silver wheels…It must be because of the color
(This is sarcasm)
If you haven't seen it in person, don't judge. I have the same spec with black wheels . The lipstick red interior really pops against the silver exterior (not champagne in the photo).
PS I get a tremendous number of compliments, including "nice Lambo."
I specifically stated that it's not the color (Nimbus) but the specific spec. I like it with black wheels and never complained about the red interior
True enough, but probably every would be bidder on BAT didn't see it in person, so judging through a phone or computer screen is a part of today's car value reality.
I do think it might be one of the more unusual color combos. For the right person it was a great deal. I do think the buyer pool might have been slightly smaller than usual for this particular car.
hope that was diplomatic enough
This is the only answerIt must be because of the color

Red interiors aren't for everyone or every color. Since its polarizing they can both hurt or help you. Someone who wants a red interior will pay a premium for it but if you don't find that person you'll likely take a hit. Red tends to pair best with a neutral color like white, grey, black. Blues and red can certainly happen (ferrari sp3, corvette grand sport, etc.) but its one of those love it or hate it colors. I went with Nimbus over red because IMO nimbus plays with the light the best and shows off the car lines the best and red gives it a little of that skittle color pop that I think a Lotus should have. I think the red interior is probably best with zinc or white.
I love red interiors (maybe not the Porsche "blood bath" all red interior) I think they provide a great contrast and look extra sporty.
I do agree they are not good with every color combination.
I went with the tan interior. Similar to the red it gives a good contrast to the "sea of black" that is in most cars.
The contrast looks extra expensive without having to pay more
