DARK VERDANT!?

[Eagle7]

I like how people in the U.K. tend to somewhat dress up more for things. Maybe it's because it's generally colder there, but you rarely see people showing up for events in flip flops, shorts and a t-shirt. It just seems more fashionable to me. I noticed the same thing for the Melbourne showing, most of the men were wearing sports coats and slacks, or at least dressy casual. Looked a lot more like an upscale event. Must be a cultural thing I guess.

Adding to this ongoing VERDANT thread. Some from the driving academy site, and then same with my editing to change wheels and/or caliper color:

God lotus have really butchered the colours on those pics haven't they, can barely tell what the real tone is with all that sepia-ness. Nice photoshops though, excited by those black alloys

 

[DrD]

In the same vain, I've changed the colour palette of the lotus pics, who knows if it looks real, it definitely looks less overdone to me at least. Original bottom for reference

 

[DrD]

I've had a play with the "other" DV picture too with the tan interior, looks like shadow grey guys. Original below for reference too.

 

[DrD]

Ok, so same as the other thread... The more I've been staring at both of these shots of "DV" the more I'm convinced they're both the same shadow grey car. FFS so close lotus, so close!

 

[DrD]

Alright yeah I'm 90% sure this is Shadow, I just set light room to "auto" everything and it produced this:
Knew it was too good to be true... We still await real official Lotus DV pics! (and Nimbus too)

But in those "corrected" pics Hethel Yellow is further away from what it looks like in real life. it's too washed out. The original is much closer.

That's my doing, I thought the yellow was looking a bit intense so reduced the saturation for yellow only. Corrected now. No other individual colour saturation has been touched. It's purely tone, white balance and vibrance.

Damn shadow for looking blue, or gray, or green! I'm back to square one with less than 2 days to pick!

Gosh these look like Shadow so much too. Now we need to see them in the same lens. Either way such cool color.

This is probably not DV ...just Shadow like everything else.

Found this random video of Shadow Grey-Blue-Green. Not sure why the color is sooo off in the video. Maybe we are seeing a similar effect here too

I'm conflicted - I ordered DV + silver wheels + yellow calipers - and they appear to clash with the Lotus yellow. Best to have the clashing colors, go with red, silver, ____? I wish Lotus would match their yellow...

Why is so difficult to get a nimbus emira haha

If you’re worried about clashing colours, there was a LHD Magma car at the factory on Monday, with red leather - brave choice, but even that looked good to me

What did you think of the red leather?

 

[912Matt]

What did you think of the red leather?

Really liked it - so many shades of red leather you never quite know what you’re going to get. It was lighter than oxblood, so felt modern, but not too bright, looked classy. Not sure I would spec with Magma or Hethel, but think it will work well with the other colours

I guess it is! Our climate is certainly part of it, but definitely culture too - well you do get dressed up to go out anywhere, don't you?! Greater sense of occasion and sometimes a bit like "suiting up" for a big game - all part of the ritual.

Seeing “DV” everywhere now.

This would make an awesome pairing to the Emira though

(No jokes about wheel gap)

DV looks very much like my Bullitt
