Nimbus Grey Lotus Emira Photo Thread

That looks like Zinc Gray to me.

Their first mistake was calling it "grey", second was not using "silver" paint.

Hey, at least the name they did give it reflects the now dark cloud hanging over the nimbus deposit holders

It’s definitely more accurately a champagne if that image is legit

Champagne is being kind - looks like pensioner beige to me I can't believe Lotus would have picked that for the FE though so it must be a bad photo or another colour altogether.

Its not a finished car as the rear diffuser is grey and theres the mesh missing from the back too. My dad had an Austin Allegro in the 80's in pensioner beige - its a no from me if it is

That was the height of sophistication!

I popped into the dealer today as i was nearby and haven't seen the samples since the roadshow. I walked around with Nimbus putting it under different lighting (except direct sunlight as there wasn't any!) anyways, one thing with this colour is it reflects colours near it, to get a bronze look from it was possible holding it under a warm light. Under cool light it looks silver, outside it looks silver. I think it will look a little like moon (attached) when under certain lighting conditions (artfical warm and perhaps late sun)

Agree with this. It behaves rather like the old Storm Titanium in that respect - the colour and tone is heavily influenced by the surroundings, type/colour of lighting etc. It’s very hard to get a “clean” view of it, particularly in a photo other than in a studio setting. When you see it in person your brain largely filters this out, because you can see the surroundings too.

nimbus ???????

 

[lotuspassion]

scusate
Volevo capire se questo può essere davvero il colore del nimbus, perchè non mi piace molto rispetto a quello del configuratore
sto aspettando
grazie e scusa ancora

If this is accurate... then this color is definitely not Nimbus. This is simply blah! Absorbing absolute nothing.

Like I said, I don’t think this is Nimbus. It’s not helped by the poor interior lighting and colour balance in the image.

Il colore non è Nimbus

Nimbus owners should just have their Seneca and hethel buddies park next to them to reflect their superior colours - and lessen the eyesore of the motorhome cab beige nimbus

These Evoras are all Storm Titanium

I think many would argue some of these are different colours!

If this is the case I think I may have made a mistake based I the information available to me...

We will argue about everything! hahahaha

Rolling with the pebble grey comment... this vid changes color quite a bit from 20 second mark to 1 minute ish mark....

I think this is A thing as well.
Lotus say they are all new colours. I'm not sure I believe they are all new colours.... Bit of tweakage to existing colours maybe.
If you paint a moustache on the Mona Lisa is it a new original master piece? Maybe...
