Boring, it becomes a car for managers who are looking for something fast... The whole world drives in cars with this kind of color
Not my favorite... MR |

Diversity is what makes us all unique. LBB forums are just 1 click away. Boring is correct. |

Thanks, that's exactly the effect.
If you take away the blue sky, it looks neutral like on this picture: Attachment 1350006 Another thing to notice is: If the car is lit eveny (e.g. on an overcast day), the color does look a bit boring. However, if there's a bit of directional light (e.g. in bright sunlight), MG gets that cool high-contrast look that really highlights the car's form. MG is a difficult color (just as LBB), not only because of the different looks it can have, but also because cameras like to over-expose it quite a bit (all dark colors, in fact). That's due to the way cameras measure the brightness in the scene. |

All the photos Artemis posts are edited with a lot of contrast etc and it makes the color look about 250% better than it really is. The first photos are lighter than what I see in real life too. The photo below is how it appears when I see it. Darker and just dull. If it really looked like in the first images I would get it 100% over all other colors. |

I'll keep the pastel colors for my polos, golf pants, tees and GF's lingerie.

"A sleeper (US English) or Q-car (British English) is a car that has high performance and an unassuming exterior. Sleeper cars are so called because their exterior looks little or no different from a standard or economy-class car. In some cases the car appears worse due to seeming neglect on the owner's part, typically referred to as "all go and no show". While appearing to be a standard or neglected car, internally they are modified to perform at higher performance levels. The American nomenclature comes from the term sleeper agent, while the British term derives from the Q-ships used by the Royal Navy."
