ID.3 Colours Available in the UK

I’ve been to Germany about a month ago and saw the red ID3.

I’m sure it’ll appear on the UK configurator when they update it next.

We were disappointed red wasn't available, went for turquoise, which we're very pleased with (it also seems to be the favoured colour for the brochure).

When I was getting insurance quotes, one company wanted to know the colour, but their database wouldn't accept "turquoise", so it was put down as "blue". Do accident rates (whether of "guilty" or "innocent" parties) depend very much on colour of vehicle?

If I was even more cynical than I am, I'd think the changes in colours would be intended to give a clear message about "this is a NEW car", an extra appeal for those who want to proclaim having latest and greatest - other aspects of the update probably aren't that obvious?

I'd have described that Turquoise as green rather than blue. Not many of them around despite it being by favourite colour (I couldn't get one when I got ours at a good discount and already built).

The reason that GPO Telephones changed from dark green to bright yellow in the 60s was that in rural locations the vehicles were not at all noticeable. Highly undesirable when the technician is on a ladder up a pole nearby. I can't think of the last time I saw a dark green vehicle, but dark grey seems quite common.

I see DTD are listing Kings Red as an option now, and also Dusty Grey/Soul Black interior.

Same for the Family trim too. I'll be happy if I get Art Velour, it's a nice material.

I believe its something to do with the colour spectrum. Sodium lights being in the yellow spectrum don't have green in their spectrum, therefore green cars will appear grey and not as pronounced. I think!
