Presumably Land Rover will have some paint samples to help us choose colour. I was under the impression quite a few of the colour choices are unique to Evoque.

My personal opinion is that the Evoque suits a colour that will stand out! That grey looks rather boring....

I think the only colour in the palete that Land Rover hasn't used by another name is the "Kermit" Green shade, Colina Lime, not really a colour that will appeal to more traditional Land Rover/Range Rover owners!

again though, sometimes it is hard to get the full look and feel from those swatches.

Too right, I nearly ordered an Atacama Sand RRS, rapidly changed my mind after I had been on the factory Home of the Legend day out and saw one on the production line.................. phew , close call that one, the colour swatches on line and in the dealership made it look like Ipanema Sand under showroom lights, in fact it was more metallic Primrose.................

Can't go wrong with White! Bet they will charge for it though!

Usually white is free as it's a base colour. I really like white on some cars (Including the Evoque) but when they get older they're less desirable. I wish you could get Bali Blue Purple. That would have been my first choice, then it would be Santorini/Barolo Black.

Not really Kermit Green either. Natural, ie non-LR press release, photos and videos show it as more yellow than green.
