Maybe why more colours are on the way including a bluer blue. I’ve only seen one Tasman Blue in the flesh and wasn’t keen on it. I suspect the clever lighting at the Frankfurt Motor Show when they showed the commercial made Tasman with white look brighter than it really is. A lot of people have said to me than they thought Pangea Green was very pale as the photos make is appear much lighter than it is in the flesh. A lot of people seem surprised that there isn’t any shade of red available.
Maybe someone on here who is good with photoshop can go through the colour chart for RRS and FFRR and create a few Defenders in the blues,reds and greens available to those buyers. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Considering it's sharing a production line with the D5, I'd have thought the D5 range of colours would be an easy way to extend the current choice?
Albeit's a limited choice:  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

Available in any colour so long as it’s duller than ditch water!

I just cannot understand why you can’t buy a dark green Land Rover discovery or defender . Is it something to do with Jerry’s plan to urbanise the entire range ?!
We settled for a blue discovery in the end but I was disappointed. Having said that I have seen a green one so LR must do a special request https://www.instagram.com/hustynminepark/ |

I was thinking the other day it would look good in Byron Blue i have a D5 in it at the moment and like it. Only problem is its a very soft paint (blues are in my experience) living around narrow lanes i have a constant stream of bramble rash appearing. 110 MY23.5 X Dynamic HSE

Portofino blue, yulong white and silicone silver will apparently be added to 21MY cars. I may have a better choice, though I think I’ll stick with Tasman blue. Loire Blue was nice Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Namib Orange wasn’t bad but too expensive Click image to enlarge |

Seeing the car in the last shot, the old D4 and L320 RRS Lugano Teal shade would suit this car well.

Lugano teal was nice, though I rather liked Keswick Green.
The Grey isn’t too bad either, especially on the steels Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge If all goes well on Saturday, and the 110 ain’t too big for the drive then I maybe tempted. Though I can’t get a base D240 only the D200 on the 110. |

That Grey one also looks nice without the gangsta glass in the rear windows. Some of the lighter greys look more silver though.

I wish I could "unsee" that, it is truly revolting!  |

If it was the colour of the showroom shot then I'd be all in. But I saw it outside in the sunlight and it was a lot darkerer than any of your pics and looked really dull. Will wait to see if another blue appears that I like. Salesbloke person also said the 90 and commercial variants were pushed back to next year, said I wouldn't be seeing be buying 1 this side of xmas. 110 D250 SE HT 110 USW SOLD RRE HSE Dynamic Gone, wife killed it VOLVO XC60 R Dynamic with some toys Polaris RZR 900XP SOLD |
