It's subtle but it's there. My guess is Russel Carr's design team didn't call it Osmium Silver for nothing. As for the wheels, the car is at PFS getting wrapped so I can't look at it, at the moment but I suspect the wheels are not osmium but rather a standard silver...

Osmium silver is the best color by far!!! Here is my 2 week old Emira. Sorry. Not much a photographer. But for anyone considering this color - DO IT! Its awesome. My tan interior is more “orange” than i anticipated, but it works with Osmium so nicely. I couldn’t be happier.

Here’s Osmium Silver next to our ‘98 New Aluminium Silver S1 Elise.
Anyone up to post some videos in the sunlight so us on the waitlist can lust more on the color scheme. I’d love so see some drive-bys and walk around. It’s my understanding that cameras don’t capture the emotion of the curves and color, but anything helps when you’re waiting 2+ years for a car 
You can definitely see the blue tint on the Emira compared to the "Aluminum Silver" S1. Great stable!! Just need an S2 to fill out the set!
When I get the car back from PFS (PPF/ceramic) I'll see what I can do...Anyone up to post some videos in the sunlight so us on the waitlist can lust more on the color scheme.

Funny you should say that, my son's looking for a silver S2 to add to our family collection! I think it would fit in well.You can definitely see the blue tint on the Emira compared to the "Aluminum Silver" S1. Great stable!! Just need an S2 to fill out the set!
Here's a couple more photos of Osmium. One with our silver S1 so you can really see the colour contrast and bluish hue and the other the day we collected our car from Hethel.
What color interior? Can't quite make it out...

I mean, it's better looking from every angle compared to the Supra, but it's remarkable how much wider the Emira looks. Stats say it's only 2 inch difference, but looks like a foot.
The lower roofline probably exaggerates the width. honestly, the osmium silver is growing on me!
in some ways, I think silver is a boring color, but with a somewhat flamboyant design, it works. Similar to how nimbus works. Should be a boring Corolla color right? But looks great on the Emira.

Drove out to the InoKinetic open house this morning via the Ortega Highway. Enthusiastic response to the Emira from fellow Lotus owners. Great to see Inokinetic’s facilities and to meet Shinoo in person. Bonus points for meeting Guy Evans, founder, managing director of Nitron Racing Shocks and fellow Emira owner, all the way from Oxfordshire, England!

If I was to have a "do-over" (I'm a member of the very exclusive Seneca club), that would be my exact spec.
Osmium silver may be the best color yet for this car.
