Alternate configurator renders of the other 4 FE colors

[Eagle7]

@Eagle7, I really feel for you with that red... emulating it is a true bugger. Those Evora shots are pretty telling, even though they're in cloudy conditions. The highlights in the Fire Red almost don't have any colour at all... perhaps the metallic fleck is silver?

Anyway, I took your top render and Photoshop-replaced the red only next to the side view of the Evora. Slightly bluer hue (but not much), heaps more saturation, heaps lower brightness. Then I sucked the crimson out of the highlights.

Sadly, it's not a bright candy-apple red, but still quite classy. I wonder if this is closer?

How' this?

Tan is more traditional, but I think they both work, just depends on what you want to live with.

Thanks. I think perhaps maybe tan is it

I’m just imagining the poor Lotus intern that’s monitoring the configurator and telling the paint department what to expect and order. Hahaha

8 car sample:
Monday - 7 blues and 1 green
Tuesday - 3 yellow and 5 red
Wednesday - 8 shadow grey
Thursday - 8 nimbus
Friday - 5 yellow and 3 camo

Poor kid.

Hahaha

I’m now looking on my iPhone and it looks too dark. It’s maddening. I think I’ll bow out and leave you to do your magic!

I think this is closer:

I think I've got the color right, but there may be too much metallic reflection. For those of you who have seen actual cars in Fire Red, are these closer?

Damn that’s a beautiful car. Thank you once more

Kudos

I just wish that Lotus who will be monitoring the forums, will make green verdant lighter.

This is what I got when matching the sample

That pairing of verdant green with red interior and bright wheels is actually really appealing. Not sure I would have ever considered it and might have discounted it as “Christmasy”. But it’s quite striking. One might even say “italianesque”. Nice.

A colour scheme made famous on a previous Lotus by Jim Clark...

(but more Lotus Racing Green than Verdant)

Oh the irony of a last ICE parked at a dinosaur juice station.
Well Played!

Oh you guys don't need to pay me for any of these, though I truly appreciate the thought. Maybe if we can all get together at a national meet in the next couple of years or so, I'll take you guys up on a coffee or two.

could you add same yellow above (yellow calipers, tan seats) but just with black pack please - Ive seen it down below but not with the tan seats and I’m terrible at swapping things in my mind! I think I’ve made my mind up … maybe.

I would imagine that filling her up at an American gas station will be considerably cheaper than doing it in a British petrol station , and no eating any twinkies in her as the crumb’s will get everywhere

I actually remember those days when there were gas wars. I remember my parents talking about it. In Southern California at that time there used to be gas stations right across from each other on the corners of intersections. The lowest price I remember seeing was 18 cents a gallon at a Flying A station because my dad was talking about it as we pulled in for gas. The Mobilgas across the street was 19 cents. We had a 56 Chevy which my parents had bought new.

Jaw drop alert: gas fell to a low of $1.56 a gallon two years ago when Energy Independence occurred.

I've recently become of fan or Rolex watches (especially after buying one). For the uninitiated, the market comes up with fun names for each watch based on the colorways - the Pepsi, the Kermit, the Hulk, the Bruiser etc and so on.

In keeping with that tradition, I dub this colorway "the Ronald McDonald" (keeping in mind that I love it).
