R2 Color Help Needed

[WoodChips]

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.

Seems like you're too worried about what others think, life is too short for that shit. Get whatever you want and don't worry about others opinions with the choice YOU made for YOUR vehicle that YOU paid for.

Cheers!

Get Esker Silver. Then wrap it Storm Blue.

Just get the "free" Esker Silver, then wrap it with whatever color PPF you like. Simple as that.

I went with silver because I really like it and it reminds me the silver 2005 bmw 330i i bought used as my first car purchase on my own about 20 years ago! i missed that car ever since i traded it. manual transmission, rock solid. believe it was the last na inline 6 in the 3 series, should have kept it.

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.

Half Moon Gray is a cool color, kinda similar to El Cap and Limestone

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’m still trying to see them all in person before my Nov/Dec window gets here.

The 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].

I bought a purple Pixel as a spare phone for my MIL, but things changed. I will likely end up using it . Purple wouldn't be my choice, but I have reached a stage in my life where I don't care.

Everyone forgets about Forest Green. It's dark, near-black at night or in heavy shade, but has a lot of metallic flake for a "sporty" shine in the sun. It catches my eye on the R1 for sure. This is the color I'm leaning towards.

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.

My color concerns are so similar to yours. But I’m sticking with silver with the coastal white interior. 21” wheel. Overtime it will always be appealing to you.

This is obvious, and not at all subjective. By definition a color cannot be both Professional (boring) and Sporty (not boring) at the same time. Is Professional slightly more Masculine than Sporty is? Your call...

Exterior:
Masculine - not Peruvian Pink
Professional - black, gray, silver
Sporty - blue, green, purple, white

Interior:
Masculine - not Peruvian Pink
Professional - dark
Sporty - light

I wonder how many people will get Midnight Paint, but Coastal Cloud interior...? That'd be interesting.

I have been a working professional for 25 years and no one has ever said anything about my cars. You are buying an R2, not the Batmobile. Being a professional means doing your job to a high, exacting standard, rather than the absence of personality. Get what looks good to you.
