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 within the public configurator setting files. It literally took 2 minutes to find in a web browser for those that are tech literate.

Here goes:

First Edition - 6 colors:

Color Name	Paint Type
Seneca Blue	Metallic
Magma Red	Metallic
Shadow Grey	Metallic
Nimbus Grey	Metallic
Dark Verdent	Metallic
Hethel Yellow	Solid

Interestingly the additional colors are marked as V6 FE colors, but that can't be as we would have been told that they are available by now.

Base Edition additional 7 colors:

Color Name	Paint Type
Meridian Blue	Metallic	New color?
Atlantis Blue	Pearlescent	Existing Lotus color Basically the blue version of Dark Verdent
Cosmos Black	Metallic	Should be a nice deep black with silver speckle?
Osmium Silver	Metallic	This could be a silvery aqua blue! Real Osmium Metal
Vivid Red	Solid	Bright red seen at Hethel?
Zinc Grey	Solid	The gray Emiras recently seen at Hethel? Probably like nardo gray or a little bit like crayon? I call it undercoat gray.
Aspen White	Pearlescent	Existing Lotus color

Also for the interior, looking at the settings file it seems that there will be a black leather with yellow stripe and black leather with red stripe option. I think you can see the yellow stripe on black leather on a head rest in the configurator videos if you look very closely.

I bet this puts a rabbit in the hat for some of us! However the FE colors are really beautiful so you can't go wrong.

Happy Emira driving!

You can see the 2x plate lights above the plate in this pic, plus the reversing camera in the middle. I think the thin clear plastic lens in the middle below the plate is the reversing light. Also a good shot of how flat the underside of the car is.

Yeah that's about what I figured. Thank you, I can now make the light covers look correct. Yes, I believe that lens below the plate is the reverse light, although it seems quite small. I guess the light inside must get pretty hot, as there are 5 ventilation slots on the bottom of the housing. The light must get bright enough if that's all they needed to pass the requirements. I have a small handheld LED flash light that can light up an entire room easily, but it also gets hot fast.

Working on adding lighting details.

Lit up the amber running light bars in the headlights:

This has the LOTUS letters lit up in the back, as well as the instrument panel in the driver's pod is now lit with the correct graphic.

This thread is awesome, and so is Eagle7

Osmium Silver reminds me of Ice Grey or Turbulence Grey in the newer Toyota Supra. BMW has a version of it too. It's a grey/silver with a hint of blue. Based on light conditions, sometimes it shows more blue.

Anyone else watching these Olympics and thinking the rings are 5/6 of these FE colors? Can’t be just me…

Does someone have an obsession?
Only The Shadow (grey) knows.

What is this “Olympics” you speak of?

The one where Team USA don't win all the medals...

PaulP - for the gold

Can anyone with IT skills render a Dark Verdant with Copper wheels and rear lotus badge pretty pleeeease!??

I’m thinking something similar to M5CS copper accents or Cupra Formentor? I followed a M5CS in Matt Dark Green, and thought the Emira can look stunning in that combo!

The copper wheels aren't a problem, but the Lotus badge on the rear is. There's simply nowhere to put it.

You can see here in this side view. I copied the logo badge from the front, and went to place it in the back, and as you can see it's too large. Even if I reduced it in size, it would have to be half the size it is now in order to put it above the lettering. That would make it too small. There are very few actual flat surfaces on this car, and on the back, the LOTUS letters are on that spot. I could reduce the logo in half or a bit more, and put it above on that upswept slope that leans backward, but again the badge would be so small, it wouldn't be much taller than one of the letters. It just wouldn't look right.

I'm guessing that was a bit of a misunderstanding that caused you a lot of extra work. I think what he meant was making the Lotus letters copper
that are already on the back of the vehicle.

Ah that may be! When he said badge, I was thinking of the logo badge lol.

Here's what he probably wanted.

Eagle7 - you are amazing!! That will be MY build!! One day I will return your favour with a photo of the real thing!

Wow, that is SUPER sexy. Never seen copper wheels and now i’m wondering why not.

Don't know how I missed this but glad I found it - stellar work! I'll be sticking with Dark Verdant and happy to do so but really looking forward to seeing Emiras in all these other shades. Nice one!

Experimenting with a JPS theme.

 

[Samps]

It has the ADAS sensor pod, so can't be a V6 (let's not get back into that debate!).

I should get the i4 write up finished today

Hi TomE - just wondering if you finished I4 write up and on what post will I find it? Want to repeat other sentiments on this forum your updates and information is greatly appreciated and makes the (long) wait more bearable

 

[TomE]

Sorry, not yet. This week (fingers crossed) but certainly over the weekend if not Thu/Fri.

Reviving this thread to play a game.. Which 1995 Ford Explorer color would you choose over any of the 6 initial FE options?

This was 27 years ago on a mass produced SUV... 50 paint options!
