One of them is supposed to be yellow (like the badge accents or calipers). The last one could be red, or something earthy like copper or brown.

1) Silver
2) Green
3) Gray (wonder if this color will make production in its current light shade)
4) White
5) Blue
6) Black (has to be a given, right?)

What do y'all think the last 2 will be?
Iā€™m kind of hoping for a metallic red. I was originally wishing for a metallic blue, but donā€™t see that happening after they revealed the current flat blue. I could see a ā€˜desertā€™ shade potentially happening too, similar to what you mentioned above.

Assuming those five colors make it to production, I agree they will also offer black. How can they not. I suspect the same for some type of red. That leaves one. ... When I brought this topic up with one of the Rivian team leads at the Normal, IL event back in October, I had asked if they plan on offering colors other than the conventional, mainstream colors. He smiled and said definitely yes while reaffirming they read the various Rivian forums and the suggestions people have made. When I gave him some examples of non-mainstream colors, like root beer and burnt orange, he said I would be happy with the selection. Read into that what you want but I think predicting that last color will be a real crap shoot.

From his profile pic, I'm sure @TXKidd might like burnt orange, but I'm more of a maroon guy. ;)

Hook ā€˜em :rock:

I will say Iā€™ve never really been a fan of burnt orange on vehicles, but would be interesting to see Rivian implement it!

The white looks great. I think one of the reasons is that the front light bar seems more integrated into the design. Even the oval stadium lights (which one wag noted looked like a hippo was surprised at the watering hole) seem more integrated. Maybe it's because in other colors, the front end has three dominant colors: white lights, body color, and black ovals and bumper; in white, the front is reduced to two dominant colors, making the front end look less busy.

I know, right?!? I really want to see it with the black wheels from the blue R1T, and requested pics on twitter & FB. I doubt it will happen, but it never hurts to ask, right?

Actually, any chance there's a photo editing whiz here that could do it? Maybe from this pic?

I'm not sure exactly what you were after, but I did one with complete swap and one with just the rims. Didn't spend much time on it, I could always clean it up and make it look a bit more legit if it's along the right lines.

That's the one I was after! Great job & thanks @SlaterGS !

I prefer smaller wheels & more tire/sidewall, and like those wheels better than any of the others...this is perfect.

Unfortunately the photo is low resolution to work with, but here are some grayscale ideas with the different wheels.
