Hi gents, first post here! Like many of you here I was really frustrated by the lack of color details to make the choice and took the opportunity to take a factory tour to help me decide. Pics were not allowed, but I was able to see all the colors indoors and out and driving around. Overall the paint quality is good and they do paint each car as a matched set. Nearly every color looks good because the car looks good. Here are my observations and opinions to hopefully be of help:
The most common color was Seneca blue, then nimbus, then dark verdant. The least common were osmium silver, white, zinc grey, and meridian blue, with only one each.
I think all of the solid colors except shadow grey look best with the black roof and black wheels, and all of the metalic colors look best with the body colored roof.
Nimbus and magma red have the most color contrast and show off the curves of the car the best. Dark verdant and meridian are beautiful but look black in anything but bright sunlight and show dirt and fingerprints just like black. Dark verdant is definitely not british racing green, and that would have looked very strange on this car.
Nimbus is the most "practical" color, it will hide scratches and dirt the best. It has a nice pewter tone that does not show in the configurator. The car displayed on the touchscreen is Nimbus on all cars. Cosmos black is the most "special" color, it includes prismatic particles that give it a sort of opalescent pop.
Osmium silver and white were imo the worst colors, as they are very flat and have a 90s cheap car vibe that does not mix well with the styling. Shadow grey was the most unexpected to me, as it has a slight blue tint that only shows up under a blue sky and gives it some depth.
The brake calipers are not color matched to the paint so the same colors together look BAD. They are color matched to the interior stitching and work well as a contrasting highlight to the paint color. Yellow is also matched to the logos and red is matched to the start button cover. Red/yellow look best on neutral and dark colored cars, and black/grey on bright color cars. The paint quality on the calipers is pretty bad and the bright colors highlight that. I did not see a single car with grey calipers.
The leather quality is really good. The red leather is also not color matched to either red paint and does not go well together.
