Is there a Rivian shop in your area or within driving distance? Test drive one and look at their color samples. Move them into the light and shadows and see how they look to you.

That color is an enigma. It looks so good in some pics (like this one), but the R2 I test drove was CC and in person it looked much more like that color swatch and I didn’t care for it at all.I get what you are saying about about the CC color having a touch of green. But it is certainly not teal. To me that is what makes it better that Rivian blue. But there is nothing about this color that is the antithesis of sporty, masculine or professional.
edit: now that I post this. CC is pretty teal. Still, an awesome color.

I bought a purple Pixel as a spare phone for my MIL, but things changed. I will likely end up using itThe most masculine color is Borealis, because it shows you are independent and confident. I do think CC is the most "feminine". I would be happy rocking either color, but I prefer the more fun Rivian Blue to the CC.
Personally going Launch Green. My brother is going with Borealis, so we don't want to have the same color. I like that Launch Green kind of reminds me of taking a ponderosa and blending the pine needles and the bark together, and that's the color you end up with. It looks good in snow, with red rocks, and fits at home in the mountains. I appreciate that it won't be as widespread as CC.
I think both of the interiors look nice. The stitching on the black looks better than the stitching on the grey, but the grey one vibes better. The flooring of the grey is attractive, but also ridiculous for my uses.
If I had the option, I would have gotten Rivian Blue or Compass Yellow [cries in Compass Yellow tears].
My advise is to remind you that NO color will make you “sporty” or “masculine” in an SUV. Unless you are an adolescent, orientation-confused still living at home, make up your own damned mind.Im a young professional male. Its my time to order an R2, and struggling. I want something sporty and professional and masculine. My favorite Rivian Color is Storm Blue. Wish it was available for R2. I plan on doing Coastal Cloud interior when available.
For reference, my last Lexus NX 300 was silver, and my wife's vehicle is white. I plan on ceramic tint for windows.
Initially loved and was sold on Catalina Cove, but struggling with it in the light, appears too teal for me to love it consistently. So i think im moving away from it.
I like the uniquness of Launch Green but find it muddy/too rugged at times.
I think im now debating between Launch Green, Esker Silver, and Half Moon Grey.
Any advice would be great.
