I was originally in love with the Catalina Cove, but then I saw soooo many people choosing that color. I am holding out for Borealis now with Coastal Cloud and 20” wheels. Maybe not the best choice for resale value, but I am replacing a 2005 Honda CR-V so I tend to keep my cars for awhile!

How do you feel about selecting Borealis...

Bold?
Attention Grabber?
Beautiful?
Fot the Ladies?
Very unique and distinctive?
Can/Can't Live with out over time?
Must Have while available?
Let me tell you why I love or Hate..

I can't sort it out either...
It's unique enough that it looks like you're making a statement. I'm just not sure what that statement is. I'm going for Catalina Cove.

It doesn't really look like "Borealis" in real life, but it would be interesting to see if the color changes depending on the lighting. Otherwise, a more honest name for this color would be "Eggplant" or "Ube" (purple sweet potato) , still amazing color
Finally! Someone mentioned eggplant!!

If my wife and I get an R2, it will be Borealis.

It's not for me. But if you love it, you love it, and I'll still take note of a Borealis Rivian years from now while out and about.

Borealis and Launch Green are both somewhat exclusive colors - Borealis to the Performance trim, Launch Green even more so to just LE. So those are good colors if you want to be a bit more unique as (hopefully) a lot more R2 hit the roads over the next year.

We used some AI to make the decision, but landed on Launch Green again... Will Stealth it this time though!

Yeah I know that, but you said you used it to make your color decision, so fair warning that's more like Forest Green and doesn't even resemble Launch Green.
