This looks like a gold hue to it, I like it!

It is a bit yellower than Toyota's 'Quicksand' color.

But is still close to the color we call 'baby s**t brown'. Do not like.

I'm on the fence about the color (and I own yellow vehicles). I liked it better in the Instagram story/video linked! I'll hold judgement until I have more info.

Still waiting for red...

Amen. I applaud them for being bold, but not a good choice IMO.

I do think @EyeOnRivian could be onto something with the wrap, especially since we've recently seen the "white camo" wrap. It's definitely an earlier prototype, but maybe it could have been in hiding all this time...

Interesting they seem to be staying away from metallics for the most part. Unless I'm forgetting something, they've only shown the debut green and silver metallic options. Any thoughts on why?

Reminds me of Bahama Gold, an old Range Rover color. I need to see if in person though, doesn't look bad.

I don't know about the "We" but I like the color.

As others have said, it is an interesting color, but I am still leaning towards blue or green.

If it was closer to a metallic copper, I would be more interested.

I was hoping a yellow more like the new Ford Broco:

(side note, I think Ford NAILED it. This destroys Jeeps in every possible way)

1) This yellow is much better than the Rivian color.

2) Coming from a hardcore Jeep guy, the Bronco appears to be pretty awesome. There's a lot of thoughtful & well engineered features, and some cool details. However, only time will tell if they can stand up to tough treatment over prolonged periods like the Jeeps do...they have a long way to go to prove they can hang with Jeeps in the long term (shoot, even the short term).

Don’t worry about it sweetheart
I’ll take it , would love a more earthy color in the range to compliment the green interior.
