Wish we could get a definitive answer on if the car shown is Orkney... I think it's Stornoway

To me it seems a lot darker than Lunar grey if Orkney is supposed to be the same. But then I think LR are making a big mistake if this is Stornoway, a colour not available. Surely the marketing department can confirm either way.

I believe its just the lighting and its Orkney Grey as this picture below is the same number plate but looks totally different colour grey

Shocked How many shades of grey do LR think are necessary?

I'm certainly not style conscious, it just comes naturally Cool

If you check how much it is talked about colors in the forum, and how much people have ordered it, without test driving it, or reading test drive reviews first, you will realize that they are right Smile style, image...

I agree. Whilst I've fallen for the looks and style (the image isn't bad either!), I can not bring myself to order a car I haven't driven. Looking forward to September or October. Smile

It' Orkney. That's what I like about this colour.
In different lights, it changes. (two for the price of one).

Went past a Jag & LR dealer today. seeing the old Stornoway colour & Orkney(lunar) in the same row. The Orkney stands out as MUCH LIGHTER.
