We got Ipanema Sand and have never regreted it. Would take this colour again in an instant. It suits the vehicle, is very low maintenance and is fairly exclusive.

We have a siberian silver RRS in Houston, and it looks the dogs danglies.
That might be the amount of sunshine they get over there though 8)

Yeah went back to the dealers 2 weeks ago just to have another look at Siberian Silver, they had an XS with the 20" alloys in it and it did look 'the dogs danglies' and confirmed my choice ........... roll on March/April !!

Black or dark colours They suit LR's well, and although I accept that silver & some of the light colours don't "look" so dirty, it's meant to be an off-road vehicle not some suburban people carrier , so a bit of visible dirt adds to the authenticity

Agreed, and trust me mine won't be clean most of the time, and hence why I didn't choose a dark colour, had em before and hated having to clean em !
But I suppose that's why they have 14 colours to choose from !
Mine is a six year old Lugano Teale - which I will be very loathe to part withBREXIT - done properly.

Yes Bournville is still available along with Nara Bronze !
If it had to be a dark colour one of the dark greens would be my choice as it just seems to suit Land Rovers as always I suppose ?
Unfortunately having the Almond interior was a definate no no for me, and another reason why it had to have a light exterior.

I wish I could be funny and say " The ashtrays are full!"
But its just to protect the investment. I had a chat with the dealer and given the fact I've done nearly 10500miles since September, we agreed that it would be worth less at trade in this September if I continued doing that sort of mileage. We did some figures and as due to me being VAT exempt, it just makes sense to change it sooner. Due in at the end of March. I'm really impressed with the D4 and I cant see anything else in the SUV range that I'd rather have TBH

No such colour on the 2012 model I'm afraid.
Only Aintree or the darker Galway greens available
