Sure. First, no worries, I'm just giving you a hard time. Apologies if I'm coming off abrasive.

Check out this video. At 1:23 you see an unpainted LR4 body getting dropped down onto its frame. The color of that body looks something like silver right?

No sweat.

Yeah, silver looks closer to plain steel, but what's so bad about that?

It's a light, shiny, low-maintenance color that always looks classy. Sure it doesn't have a lot of pop, but that's were the black package helps.

I actually see very few Indus LR4's, so in a way it's kind of rare. More than half the LR4's around here are white, and most of the other ones are dark colors (usually black). I'll see a Nara here and there.

The contrast with the black package (that you mentioned earlier) will be nice. Get the front windows tinted and the whole thing will look sharp with the silver/black combo.

I agree. The silver with the black design package is really nice. I actually just saw one this morning on my bike ride to work and it made me question my choice of Fuji White. Hahaha! No, I do love the white, very classic, especially with the black design package. To be honest, I don't care for the white or silver as much with the stock silver trim, as it doesn't have much contrast. I like the black trim on all the colors, but I think it looks best on the lighter colors and the silver trim is nice on the darker colors.

Agreed. I had a line on a brand new Baltic Blue with Black Package, and I'm happy that didn't work out. Blue with black kind of looks like a big bruise, ha.

Wow - that's bright. I actually would love to see an LR4 in that color.

I think they had Range Rover Sports that were sort of a burnt orange a few years ago?

With my very limited photoshop skills, here is my best attempt at a rendering in orange.

I have to admit, I like it! I actually wish they had an lighter army green color available. I really like the color they offer for the Jeep Wrangler.
