What about this then.

Oh.
Wow.
In love

That's really nice. Quite subtle too which is a bonus.

If I could've afforded a factory order V12V then this is the colour I had in mind....looks stunning!

Here's a proper Mako picture to supersede the earlier poor effort

Pentland green... it's seemingly impossible to photograph the colour accurately, but it looks absolutely stunning in sunlight. I just keep taking pictures after I've polished it hoping one day I'll get it photographed correctly. Anyway, these were the best I've got

and that's not at you but with you. I feel exactly the same. I chose that colour back in 98 for my, then new, TVR Griffith. On the stand at the motor show the DB7 in Pentland green looked stunning, when the car was delivered I wasn't sure it was the same paint, but it was! I've polished it to within an inch of its life and it just doesn't photograph well. Mind you, when the sun's on it in real life it looks great. Here's my best attempt. p.s. I know it's not an Aston but I've got one to go with it

Yo, Slacker. Which bit of the non-silver heading didn't you notice ?

It is neither Silver or Grey... it is more Blue, Green, Snow coloured

Slacker...... there's a hint in the name "snow shadow GREY"

It isn't Grey........ Don't care what the name says they had to call it something.....
Here's a photo showing the lack of grey

It is closer to Green. Any more of this and I am off to buy a Jaguar XKRSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS as I hear they are much better than any Aston.

Jaguar? Yes good cars but they don't look so good in grey.

Cobalt Blue

and this is another great looking one - these vibrant blues really suit the shape.

Another one for my database, #945, for sale at AM New England, USA in Goodwood Green. Photos by the dealer could've been better!

Sorry if I missed it (I looked) - what is the funky purple colour called?

John - think it's called Amethyst Red.

Another vote for that being the winner - absolutely gorgeous!

Any excuse! Sunburst yellow.

Wow, how did I miss this??? That, sir, is stunning. Well done for being so brave.

Thank you! But I don't consider myself to be brave with this choice, I think it might be a product of sunlight. I had 2 meteorite V8Vs when I lived in dull, grey, grim England, but shortly after moving to France, I changed the silver Roadster for this. I know that it may prove more difficult to sell on than a 'conventional' colour (and the time may be approaching), but I bought the car for me and I'm happy to live with the consequences. There must be more people than just you and me that like it!

Having also voted for that, I did see another TDF picture on this thread that didn't look as good - the difference was sunlight. My own Storm Black car (banned from ths thread...) has huge orange flecks in it under sunlight and looks really good.

The quality of Aston paint means that sunlight reveals a world of subtlety, so until we see other colours similarly photographed, better keep the champagne corked (fictitious champagne, fictitious cork btw!)

Lovely Griffith

Glad it's not just me and my photographic incompetence

here's my Toro red with sandstone interior

I just saw a TdF blue V12V in front of a house in St John's Wood. It looked spectacular.
