What Colour to choose?
My project landy is going in to be painted at the end of the week.

Need to decide on the colour, it's so hard to make the final decision.

Choice I've narrowed it down to, Corris Grey with Santorini Black roof and arches. Santorini Black or Loire Blue.

Corris grey with black I think always looks nice with the contrasting colours. Black defenders do look smart, but fear it would show scratches up pretty easily. Don't see many Loire blue ones around...

Would love some thoughts, on what you'd go for!

Black is too mainstream, Loire blue looks very smart though Thumbs Up 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 td5 station wagon

Hello L90DNY

Rather than trying to think which is best...

Maybe use the psychiatrist trick and imagine being given each as your final choice...
The question then is which would you be less than happy with... Question

Tough one really as all 3 would look good...
I'd go for the Corris Grey with the Santorini Black contrasting Roof and Arches...

Then again...


Good Luck SKIP

I was going to say Keswick Green too! But also really liked Fish13 Tamar Blue with white wheels

Corris and Black are probably very safe options, but very common, depends if you want something popular or unique. I'm finding it hard enough choosing new wheels let alone a whole new colour!! Good luck Thumbs Up

I really like Corris Grey but personally not keen on the contrasting black roof and wheel arches Rolling Eyes James

Why have you got to choose a Land Rover Colour ? There are Better colours than standard.

I thought choosing a Land Rover colour made sense, also for re-sale at some point

This blue seems slightly different to Loire Blue - any ideas ?
