    I am going back to drawing board on my spec. I’m starting to revisit my earlier flirtation with British Racing Green over Tan leather Senna seats. It would be a stunning and unique combination. Perhaps one worthy of the 765LT. I wonder were I to have the balls to give it go. Here’s a couple videos of a Senna in BRG:








    Here’s another version of a different green exterior, this time with tan guts: Oak Green Metallic (yet another Porsche color).





    And here are some photos:

    Can McLaren do a blended paint color like this Speedtail for the 765LT? It's both the nicest color and idea I've seen on a modern McLaren.

    Not in your league but we have a F8 Green Challenger and it is the most commented on car I have ever owned.

    Do they have a light fun green like they had on earlier models, or what Lamborghini does?

    Yes. They have a couple different greens, but not sure I could ever bring myself to pull the trigger. Incredible colors for sure, but probably little too “hey check me out” for my liking.

    Here’s Mantis Green:

    Here’s Napier Green:

    Love the Mantis green, is the Napier more yellowish?

    I know this is none of my business, but for me British green is full and played out.....just like brown is. Do you have any yellow cars? You’ll get nothing but compliments on a yellow pearl super car.

    Those bright “highlighter” greens are amazing, but I could never get my wife to climb into one. As far as yellow goes, my plan is to add a Porsche next, preferably in Signal Yellow, which is an iconic historical color for Porsche. Something like this:

    cannot ever go wrong with british racing green on a british car. the senna pics look more like emerald green than classic brg which is little darker hue. i say go for brg with either beige, gray, or black interior.

    My neighbor who has an Audi S4 comes over to the garage where we keep the F8 Green Challenger and says his car has too much blue in the paint. Definitely love BRG with just a little flake

    That car really needs the Nardo Orange calipers that the European launch spec has.

    He talks about the color, Chicane Grey/Chicane Effect, at 8:08 . "It's amazing, looks really stunning, and, it is one of the very coolest paint color I have ever seen". (I guess he likes it :) )
    Hard to believe. Would have to see in person, in the sun to judge.

    I saw that. I am so torn on Chicane Effect. I went to my dealer to check out their 600LT in Chicane Effect for the second time. I am leaning towards going with the European Launch spec with Chicane Effect, Nardo Orange Calipers, and the Nardo Orange interior highlights. There’s a part of me that loves how Chicane Effect glows in the sun, and a part of me that thinks its kind of gimmicky.

    It's a great color, I wouldn't call it gimmicky.

    I think I was a little confused before, that there were 2 distinct color options. Chicane Grey and Chicane Effect. This clarifies that for me. :)
    He really gushes about it. I don't know, I think I'd rather have an 'Effect'/metallic dark red, blue or orange.
