Huh?
'Cause I spent more than a year looking for a green Vanq before finally giving up and buying a blue one just a couple days ago. And had you posted this from the USA, I'd have been royally PO'd that I purchased the wrong car, but since the car is in the UK, I can breathe a sigh of relief...

mine arrived at the dealer today
stunning, congrats !

One of the nicest schemes I've seen for DB11

Which green is that ? I imagine the combo of rails & roof would look good with several of the Aston greens

As others have said, DB11 is incredibly colour sensitive - well done and enjoy

Does anyone know what colour paint that is? The ad only says 'Special Q Paint'

Of all the latest Astons (say 2012 on) the Vanquish is the nicest by far.

Just that chin that looks a bit odd. Maybe body colour for most of it around the edges would be better.

Which green was this, used in the early promotional brochure? Always thought it looked stunning and played a part in me buying my first V8 in 2006.

That color is Gun Metal #305 Color Code: AST 1301 Basecoat: (MBC) 2K
Activator DCH4074Q

I've got one of the original V8 Vantage press kits from 2005.

Aston Martin Racing Green







Loved it on samples last year and chosen for the GT8. So many shades of green into this colour depending on the sunlight. Combines shades of Almond green, DBR9 Green and a hint of Viridian/emerald too

Not sure how many colour swatches the dealers keep? Would be interesting to see all the greens side by side.

For the full range I recommend to go directly to the factory, some dealers don't have the full range of samples.

I don't expect this to hang around long, lovely example in a rare colour combo.
