Dropped my car off for a service at HWM this morning, they had a number of new Vantages there.

The blue one looks amazing, Cobalt maybe?

I'm thinking Ming rather than Cobalt but suspect my vote would (just) go to the bottom one (Amethyst Red ??)

Regardless of whether the styling is to personal taste or not, seeing them out in the real world I still very much think that these new Vantages look like a distinct evolutionary leap on from the VH era cars.
I’d still like one one day - if only I was rich enough to not mind the year 1 depreciation...
Oh, and the engine note just didn’t get me excited... I wonder if the aftermarket can do anything about that (though I can’t find anything for the AMG GT that turns the sound of those into my cup of tea either, so maybe I’m doomed)

That looks way better than Lime Essence !
Looks like dark green metallic. Anyone knows which colour it is?

Utterly stunning.

I have seen two in the last 24 hours out and about in the Warwickshire countryside. In the real world they are sooooooooo different.

I`m surprised how good the silver mesh looks on this!
Gobsmackingly cool.

Definitely a colour sensitive car as opposed to the outgoing
That dark green is the only colour I've thought wow

Certainly not green. Looks like some shade of dark gray/silver.

You may need your eyes tested. That’s definitely dark metallic green.

It's like that blue / gold dress photo a few years ago...
I'd go with Pentland Green - not seen it in the metal, it's available on the DBSS from memory.

I'm not sure how well that car would really work from a different angle or under different lighting.
Green body, black inserts, grey wheels and grey mesh. Too much going on?

Had a try to replicate it on the configurator and can't get anywhere close, it looks a lot 'greener' than Arden or Sea Storm and a lot darker than Appletree, and can't find anything close in 'Q' or on a different models palette, could well be a 'match to sample' colour, and you don't appear to be able to spec that design of wheel now either. scratchchin

Looks a bit too light for Ghillies green, and too dark for Aston Racing green.
Maybe BRG?

I agree. I think that is a special sample match. Whatever it is though, it would have made a great launch colour IMHO
