Hi all

I thought I had cracked my colour combination. My order is in and I need to commit to my spec in the coming week.

What I have ordered is HSE Dynamic in Barolo black with ebony / ivory interior (ebony seats), ivory Alston headlining grand black wood.

I went to see a showroom Barolo today and its way more black colour than I expected. Even immaculately clean and under showroom lighting there's not an enormous difference between it and a santorini black that was sat near to it.

Mariana Black is now my favourite, with the same interior as above but I'm wondering if the same will apply with respect to it being too black and not enough Mariana!

Loire Blue, Carpathian Grey or Mariana black are the only 3 my wife likes so it needs to be one of them.

Which of these 3 do you think I should go for and which interior would you recommend with same?

Thanks very much indeed for any thoughts.

I love my Mariana, however as is the case with the Barolo I fear that its quite a soft paint. The dealer gave mine some swirls which I am still working on removing, however I took these pics last weekend and I think they show the colour quite well from different angles and in different lights

My vote, FWIW, goes for Loire Blue, Indus Silver roof, Ebony and Cirrus interior.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

Loire blue and Almond/Espresso interior would be my choice because that's what I have just ordered.

Loire Blue and Ivory.








I still love this combo after 15 months, very classy IMO. Will probably order the same combo again for my next Sport.  Arrived: MY16 A/B SDV6 in Aruba, Ivory interior, piano black trim, black panoramic roof, spare wheel, blind spot monitoring, mudlaps and more...
