What colour floating roof?

Hi guya,

I have a black RRS and wondered what colour floating roof would go with it?

Pink? Or perhaps a nice duck egg blue?

Black. I don't think a contrasting colour would look quite right over black paint.

What happened to vinyl roofs, btw? Now that would be retro! L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso
RRS TDV6 HSE Lux (MY2011)... Nara Bronze / Arabica - now gone!

It's actually Bournville

So looks black on a lot of days but catch it in the right light and it's an amazing deep brown 2006 RRS Supercharged 4.2 HST muthuaflecka!

The effect as meant by LR design of the floating roof is only achieved by any color except black..

Only by choosing contrasting body paint in compare to the black pillars will give the idea of an floating roof.

Unfortunately, by colouring the roof with a different colour than the rest of the car (...??), will completely ruin this beautiful design feature..

I personally think that LR should remove a big part of their body color customisation options, just as to protect many of their over eager customers against being overconfident in their crusade to show the whole world that they really are an individual, and have multi color car to prove it, since the final overall look of the car results more and more often in a big deception for the owner or fellow road users.

Unfortunately, good taste is not for sale.. SW

Sometimes it is not enough to do our best;
sometimes we must do what is required.
