DARK VERDANT!?

[eclat2emira]

I'm sticking with Defiantly Verdant and that's my story!

Absolutely @Eagle7, we are in this (with plenty of others) together!

That does look very nice and not as dark as other photos Ive seen.

What in the world is going on with the hood of that car? Weird Photoshop? Reflections don't work like that.

I get not publishing photos for that reason (not really, but I can live with it)... But they haven't let them out in the wild basically at all sans the Asia tour and the top Gear review in the studio. It would be great to see some videos of it in motion/walking around it to see the travel in the color. This is beyond frustrating and quite frankly mind boggling. Can't wait for first customer DV cars to be delivered so we can see something.

It's annoyingly sad it will be DIY on DV. This now falls into the category of celebrity sighting for fans.
Rather than being proud of a creation they are being secretive. A future TV program will analyze and tantalize with the 'most mysterious Lotus color ever......aka The Dark Mystery."

To me it looks like the silver column to the side, which has a satin finish, is just creating an unusual reflection - you can see where it meets the ceiling in the reflection - agree it looks odd though!

I can't really tell from the the last pic - but if DV is anything like Empire green from that Elise in Thailand that would be an amazing colour.... I know, it's different tho.

This is so sad. I mean has Wuhan produced anything that the global community would accept? Certainly not a pic of a DV Emira true to form…

What’s the last thing that came out of Wuhan anyway? (too soon?)

It's the diffused overhead light shining on the soft satin finish of the circular column next to the car, then that image is being reflected in the hood. You can see below that how sharp and clear the worded sign is. It does make for a weird looking reflection though.

I believe DV has more blue tones than Empire green

That's not DV, it's called Patient Zero Green.

You are right on the money there, this echoes my earlier assessment, DV is more akin to a very deep teal than a forest green. (as per my avatar and painting! )

Stop it or I’m going to cry!

Ooops - sorry! Look at it this way - every green has some blue in it, it's just matter of how much, and the bottom line is it's green, not blue.

 

[Mctaff]

I’m sure it will be magnificent!

… but ffs release some goddamn photos of the colour!!

Yikes..... so not innocuous?

Came across this video and couldn’t decide whether it was Shadow Grey or Dark Verdant at first, checked the reg and DVLA indeed lists the colour as green.
