When spec'ing a new RRS, I couldnt see an option to choose your own non-standard colour paint. Is this not possible, do you have to choose from the narrow range of LR standard colours?

I suspect anything is possible - at a price!
Your only real option is to ask them.

I just can't decide between Baby Pink or Bubblegum Pink.

Oh yes smile

You can't see it on the configurator you need to visit dealer.

17 x extended pallet and infinite on bespoke inc trim etc - all SVO at the new JLR facility

Is there any website showing what the 17 extended colours are? Any idea of price for spec'ing non-standard colours?

Yes, you can spec a non-standard colour. At the moment it needs to be from the JLR palette (but including recently deleted colours I believe). This is part of what Special Vehicle Operations do. Give them a call. http://www.landrover.co.uk/special-vehicle-operati...

Would it not be easier and probably cheaper to have the car wrapped it whatever colour and pattern you like?

Be careful when they tell you:
"It can be done, but you need to order 10 cars".
They still won´t do it then, even when you order 10.
It happened that way, when we ordered (tried to order) our Defender 130 SW.

I tried this when I ordered my Defender and in theory it can be done as outlined above via the SVU.

I decided against it in the end due to cost, but the cheapest way of achieving the result (I wanted the RR Classic Gold colour from the '80's) was to buy a black car, leave the engine bay etc black, then respray the rest of the car. Cost was around £6k from memory to have it done at an authorised dealer, which in fairness is probably not the best place to have a paint job on a brand new car but I was thinking about the warranty.

No very happy with Scotia Grey which is what I specced in the end.

SVO are now able to paint the 'body-in-white' themselves - something that very few bespoke arms of major car manufacturers can do.
