I know you didn’t list LA Silver as one of your choices, but I’d put in a plug for that color. I live on a rural, gravel road so I wanted a a truck as close to “gravel road grey” as I could get. I’ve been pleased as LAS hides gravel and winter grime reasonably well. Also I love the Ocean Coast interior with it. I find both colors have a slight blue/grey shade and really like it.

When I saw a GW IRL I thought the lack of contrast between the paint and the light bar made it look dull from the front.
I've always been team El Cap but need to reconsider red too.

Why do I find myself checking in on this thread from time to time to see who is “winning”? Go GW, you can do this!
It's been a lot closer than I expected. I figured El Cap by a mile.

The white looks great on the truck, but so do all of the other colors. Lighter is better, if looking clean longer is a priority. I ended up with LA Silver (Subaru Ice silver) as that is what I was able to get at the time. Love đź’• it!

Update!

Again kudos to Tyler and Rivian Vancouver. They found an exact configuration match to mine in white. I chose to abide by the results of the group vote to guide us, and....

EL CAP GRANITE FOR THE WIN!

Thanks to all of you for your input I really appreciate all the different pros, cons, and perspectives, it didn't make the decision any easier though.

Ya think you're all prepared to take delivery, and then you start second guessing things you decided on years ago.

You're going to eventually park next to a white truck and be sad.
Sounds like you're speaking from experience!

I would say it's a testament to the colo(u)rs they have on offer, they may not be your first choice, but they're compelling enough to make you hesitate.

A lot of it is just whether or not it's really clean. Rivian Blue is amazing when it's not dirty. My truck is nearly always dirty though, especially in the winter time.

IMHO, these trucks are too cool not to get a fun color.

I get rave reviews on rivian blue. I bet ANYONE who ordered canyon red, rivian blue, or forest green do not regret their decision.

Life is short- get something fun!

I wouldn't have a guide if I tried to change colors again

EL Cap R1T, Model 3,
I was between blue and white. I really like the clean look of the white, especially from the front. I considered El Cap as an outlier, feeling like it accentuates the lines give the R1T a stronger look. What finally sold me on it, was it was the one color my wife really liked during our test drive. now after owning it, I do really love the color, but it does not hide dirt.
