Daft question really but from what I see on here, it seems Stonewash Blue is very popular. And that's what ours will be.

We were going to pay extra for metallic grey but then our dealer showed us a Moonstone Grey that had just arrived for another customer. We changed our mind immediately because of the good contrast with the black detailing, and this was reinforced when he showd us one with the metallic grey which has hardly any contrast with the black at all. Easiest 600 odd quid I've ever saved.

It was between the standard Moonstone, or white for me.

Always liked the VAG flat grey, so it was an easy choice once you factor in the extra cost for any other colour.

I saw only two 'colours', Stonewashed Blue and Makena Turquoise - we chose the latter.

My present Ford is a similar colour to the Turquoise. And what a pig it is to keep clean. It shows the muck and grime when the weather forecast only hints at light drizzle.

The dealer only had 2 in stock, white or moonstone so there was no competition for me prefer moonstone and it was cheaper, also have the white dash which is not everyone's cup of tea but I like it

Strangely, I don't find that's the case with mine ...

There were only two colours we could even contemplate from the available palette : glacier white or manganese grey. We went with the grey πŸ˜€

I was very pleased moonstone grey was the default/budget option. It’s the colour I’d have chosen.

Though I’d say VW have been very conservative/dull with the available colours!! Wonder why - there’s plenty of options in the VW palette across the range.

Perhaps saving it for a paid software upgrade option πŸ˜‚

Stonewash Blue seems to be the rarest of all, based on photos I see posted in forums and Facebook groups, plus I’ve yet to see one out on the road.

Mine is Moonstone Grey, I think the car looks best in Glacier White though.

How strange. We have loads of ID.3's round here (perhaps I'm noticing them more now I have one on order? :D ) and the vast majority are metallic blue or white.

Our dealer had all the colours available to look at ato be honest we weren’t impressed with any of them. In the end we chose stonewashed blue as the one we could live with. This is the colour I wish they had available.

Moonstone grey I love it, but also understand its marmite colour. Would have paid for it if it was free

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.)

Looks great in the sunshine. Unfortunately, here in Yorkshire, today, the sun has gone on holiday - again.
