"Granite Silver Metallic" (the safe choice)

I love this color, combo, and vehicle!

Thanks! Stellar resale value + EV tax credit makes these things virtually free for about 14 months. Might keep buying them until the credit runs out lol. Makes a good pairing with Emira, I think.

Sounds like it could be classed as champagne colour...

My concern for those choosing Nimbus is whether they realise it is a gold/bronze/cream coloured metallic and not a traditional silver.

Many of the early Nimbus renders shown here were basically a bright sparkly grey silver which isn't accurate.

Having seen the official colour samples in real life the bronze effect is very subtle and it appears as a slightly warmer silver than is common. It’s silver with a hint of champagne in the mid range which looked amazing to me. Looked very premium. And yes that’s only the small sample dish and it might feel different on the entire car but I immediately was taken by the Nimbus and ultimately ordered in that colour. Equally the Green was darker than I had hoped as that was my initial choice. I think the Nimbus is the best colour to highlight the curves on the car along with the Red & Blue.

You're abslutely right, nimbus will definitely highlight the curves well!

Nimbus was on my shortlist for quite some time when I thought it was more of a standard bright silver (hence why I'm sharing my observations in case others have made the same assumption that I did).

I've also seen the nimbus paint samples in real life and placed them next to traditional bright /mid silvers and in different lighting conditions. It still appears to be a creamy gold champagne silver which personally put me off. I've never been a gold/cream/brown coloured car person (same goes for tan leather), but appreciate that colour is a very personal thing.

Isn't it just awesome that we have choice and a range of different tastes? Makes the world more interesting!

Absolutely.. and weirdly part of me wishes I went with Red now after the new configurator was released I’ve seen some really smart Red specs from people which I never would have considered myself. But Nimbus is def for me Ive always loved Ferrari in silver in particular the F355 and the Emira is basically a modern F355 in many ways.. for me anyway… Going to be a long wait but worth it I’m sure

As I’ve said on one of the other threads, doing a good render of a metallic is really hard. I think the picture shows the colour but not the full effect of the fleck.

I couldn’t find a comparable coloured car at B&C to put the sample against. But I think this picture of the convex sample is a good representation:

From this photo it looks lighter that GT silver

It does light light the contours and forms on the car well. I think it will look amazing

Many pictures of the paint sample disk have been posted in the forum under various lighting conditions including bright sunlight, shade and against a Mineral Grey sedan. I would be surprised if Nimbus would be taken for Silver.
imagine the hue and cry!
Alternatively, someone can feast their eyes on the upcoming Osmium render which was leaked.

Ooh please share..

Wait, what? Please share!

 

[daveparky84]

The Osmium colour appears to be one of the offical colours for the base models. There’s some fan made renders on the forums here but they don’t look great. Looks like a very reflective cool blue silver almost like a polished toy marble or frosted chrome effect. I can’t get enough of Nimbus I think it looks amazing. Certainly unique I can’t think of any other car like that in recent memory.

The names of the extra colours were hidden in the code of the new configurator. We don't know for certain what they look like yet.

The 13 Emira Colors

Thanks everyone for such a great supportive forum! I have learnt so much over the past few months so I wanted to finally give back a little. I know everyone is really keen to know what 13 colors will be available after the First Edition! I know I was. Well it looks like they included them...

Hi folks! I have recently jumped ship into the Nimbus camp from Dark Verdant! Then I saw the white…. It’s so bleeding difficult!

No we saw that one... This made it sound like a render itself was leaked, like a configurator image from Lotus?

Maybe @EspritGuy can clarify. I've seen a couple of attempts at renders of Osmium but nothing that appears to originate from Lotus. There's a Volvo colour with the same name.

Post 139 above was correct. The reference was to the embedded code within the configurator update. That led to some image concepts, also referenced above, including the Volvo iteration. No, we haven't seen an actual example.

See post 44 and post 75 in this Nimbus thread.
It's as about as real as it gets.

Give it a few weeks and you’ll be onto red then blue, then back again to yellow and verdant..
