Centenary colour scheme?

[Astondb9man]

I apologise if this topic has been discussed previously. I am struggling with it, am I missing the significance, is there a heritage connection I'm unaware of? I doubt AM chose the first offer of a unique 'Centenary' colour scheme their design team came up with, so this was obviously the winner,,,,dunno,,,sorry AM,,,I want to like it,,,maybe its just me.

Saw it at Aston Centenary Dinner and really liked it - excellent paint quality and worked well. Depends what you are looking for really but if I was in the market for a 'grey/black' car it would be near the top of the list. Not sure if the scheme has any real historical connections - unlikely imo.

I was at the Centenary Dinner as well and have to say I thought it looked stunning and far better than the pictures. Somehow in real life it seems to work. Having said that not one for me.

Just as I thought,,,its me. There really is no substitute for seeing any colour, for real, in 3D, standing there in front of you. No historical connection, I didn't imagine there would be, that'll change after this year Silverspeed won't it.

I'm starting to have some really really sick thoughts about that VanquishII on the Geneva stand.

Simply stunning car, simply stunning colour for a car.

Same here, on both counts - it doesn't photograph very well, but in the flesh it looks great, quite subtle.
