The most Defender-ish colour, is any splattered with mud & grime. Its a rural/commercial vehicle, not a Hooray Henry Chelsea tractor.
 Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender |

Heard back from LR that it IS too late to change the colour. Thanks for these photos as it really had made me feel much better about the colour choice I've made

I really, really wouldn’t waste another moment thinking about it…
If you’d closed your eyes and stabbed the colour chart with a pin to come to a decision, as many people would be saying “Wow, that’s the most fantastic colour on a Defender I’ve ever seen” as “What a load of cr….p”. Having said that though, in my opinion it’s more the kind of colour I’d expect to see on an old man’s executive saloon than on a truck! Peter |

Having seen a few Defenders come throught the line in Havana (in my time at Twisted and now sales exec at LR dealership) I love it. It looks brilliant on a car with alloys and windows and the colour change element really makes it IMHO.
Had a freelander for the weekend also in Havana and liked that equally as much. I think it's a great addition to the Land Rover colour chart and I'm sure you'll love it once it's here!! |

You know this already now but it'll look great
Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing... |

Not a fan of your alternative - Aintree Green - close up it looks like it belongs on a hotwheels toy or a fairground bumper car. So I think you got a lucky break in not being able to change it
Apologies to anyone with one in Aintree Green  |

I think that 110 in the photo looks great in Havana. Reckon you'll be happy with it so I wouldn't worry.
