What colour did you get/order?

[djkav]

Far too many grey cars on the road. My wife wanted turquoise but we didn't want to wait four months to get it. There was a stonewashed blue available immediately ex stock and we actually preferred it when we saw it. (Don't tell my wife I said so, but it looks quite like grey.)

I my choice was between Turquoise and Stonewashed Blue. My 8 year old daughter chose the Stonewashed Blue.
It kind of reminds me of the old Nissan Almera Ice Blue.

Never seen the Stonewashed Blue in person though.

We were deciding between stonewashed blue and turquoise. We were set on stonewashed blue until we saw it in person and it looked lost among all the grey cars.

We have ordered a Makena Turquoise. None of the others are bright enough, I like to have cars with lots of colour. If the red was available in the UK I'd have liked that, but my wife loves turquoise so it's probably a good thing it wasn't

[AndersG]

Yes, that was the colour we chose as well, Makena Turquoise

[Trantor]

Stonewashed Blue for us.
ID3 does look good in White I have to say. But as a recent previous car was a white one decided on the blue. Turquoise was considered, but as both wife and daughter thought it is was a “late life crisis” colour for someone who’s just got their bus pass!

Strange, I didn't have a Bus Pass thirty years ago!

Red. We would have ordered red if they had it. It was then a negotiation with my partner:

– Let's have the Makena Turquoise, it's the next best cheerful choice.
– I see the appeal, but I think it's the wrong kind of cheerful.
– What do you mean?!
– I mean I don't like it.
– White then, look how it contrasts nicely with the black roof of the ID.3!
– True! Nice when it's clean, but white shows the dust too easily.
– No it doesn't. I had a white car a long time ago, it was fine.
– That's because you don't mind driving a dusty car. Are you going to wash this car every week?
– All right, what colour do fancy then?
– Hmm. I wish they had it in red.
– We've gone through that already.
– This Moonstone Grey is cheaper, might as well.
– No! That's so rainy day grey. It's depressing. No.
– Manganese Grey?
– You mean black? Like a hearse. If you're thinking grey or black, I'd rather have Scale Silver.
– No, silver it too boring.
– Well, there's only one colour left, Stonewashed Blue.
– You realise that's just a shade of grey, right? "Washedblue Stone Grey" is more like it.

And so we ordered Compromise Stonewashed Blue.

VW’s internal paint names?

“Hearse Black”
“Compromise Blue”
“Unobtainable Red”
“Boring Silver”
“God No Turquoise”
“Primer Grey” (no charge)

We went Stonewashed Blue as we seem to be having a blue phase at the moment and it wasn’t grey or silver, but when we picked it up It did look a little muted next to the silver in particular, but we’re happy enough and people generally compliment the colour

[colonelpurple]

We got white as the contrast with the black back was quite nice, and we like white generally
Would have been nice to have a real black, dark silver and a navy or royal blue to choose from as well!!

[slef2003]

I also have gone stonewash! White gets to dirty and I do not want to stand out from the crowd or be overly noticable. Might be because I sometimes might nip on a bit and want to be anonymous LOL

Bog standard Moonstone Grey for me, I like it with the black roof and with black and silver alloys.

[Hopeful]

Stonewashed blue for us. No choice though as dealer's stock order with delivery at end of September.

[G43FAN]

Bog standard Moonstone Grey for me, I like it with the black roof and with black and silver alloys.

Also Moonstone Grey, but it was dealer stock, not my choice. However the comment I have had most often is 'Like the colour'.

[Warminster id]

As above but I have the steel wheels and have had comments that they also look good ( not joking)

When we were choosing ours, I never had any issues with the steel wheels. Cheaper to replace dustbin lids than alloys when I eventually kerb them.

[UKCanuck]

I've ordered mine with steelies and bin lids too. Not got the car yet but will be putting after market alloys on... the most expensive are £759 for a set of 4;

[tomstring]

Bog standard Moonstone Grey as I am coming from a SEAT where there is no charge for colours. I drew the line at steel wheels however and optioned east Derry alloys (as well as a heatpump).

[Colin1517]

I’ve ordered a 77kwh Tour Pro S as my replacement company car, the only option I was offered was the Manganese grey. Wasn’t sure until I visited the local VW dealer and saw it “in the flesh”, and both myself and my missus loved it. Shame about the delivery ETA though, currently quoting early March ‘22.
Such a great car though, I’ll sit tight and wait patiently.

[colonelpurple]

It had to be white
