Barolo Black or Santorini Black

I'm just about to order my first Evoque but am undecided about the best black! Any advice?? I am ordering a Lux Prestige and cannot wait to drive it!

Personal choice really. I like Barolo with the red/purple shades in sunlight, Santorini is more of a classic metallic black.

Let me think...it's the Barolo...worth the extra in my opinion. It also washes fantastically, not sure if that has anything to do with the paint finish.

Arrived 16th December 2011: 5 door Prestige SD4 auto in Barolo black with ambience interior, pano roof, privacy and 20" style 6 alloys.Very Happy

RE: Barolo Black or Santorini Black

If you haven't ordered yet then I would hold off until your dealer has details of 2014MY colours incase there are new colours coming after July. If you look at the LR website colours for D4/RRS/FFRR and Freelander2 there are even more choices of black "shades" that might come our way too

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Barolo Black or Santorini Black

I ordered the Barolo Black, fortunately i have seen it as one of the dealers had a Ranger Rover Sport in it. It looks black most of the time but where the light catches it and the sun shines on it it has a claret type hint.

Lovely colour that is a bit different to black but not too different!
