At first blush I liked the new Storm Blue option for Tri Max. But seeing it in both sun and shade it sometimes looks less blue and much more dark grey. Rivian Blue is brighter and more visible to distracted drivers. Anyone with Rivian Blue regret their choice? It looks sharp with black wheels and Darkout badges. As a bonus, the wife likes

They're both great. I have a green Tri on order still, but everytime I see blue on the road I second guess my decision. It was a coin toss decision for sure.

I like both when I see them online. I saw Rivian blue in person and did not like it. I believe Storm Blue is one of my favorites right now but if I see it in person that could change my mind.

I love them both but have Forest Green.

I like to think each is an homage to Amazon's two colors...

We are very early adopters (11/28/18). We loved Rivian Blue from the very beginning. It was actually more SuEllyn than me. I think that if it had been entirely up to me, it might be a Compass Yellow R1T out in the driveway.

We have found that the Rivian Blue can appear to be everything from royal blue to turquoise depending on the light.

The new Storm Blue looks just like the name implies, an overcast day at the beach. We don't particularly care for it, but our son is considering trading his '23 Glacier White R1S for a G2 Storm Blue.

I get nothing but positive comments about “Blew Bayou”.

Ruby loves it too.

I love blue and naturally gravitate to it. I really liked the Rivian blue online and in person until one overcast day I saw it didn't really like it as much. That being said, all colors are different in the light (see the greenish tint in my profile pic) and even though I went for El Cap, Rivian Blue was still one of my top choices.

I have a midnight black T and my wife has a blue S. I have to say that I sometimes regret not getting the T on Rivian blue. I have to say that I have the same thought whenever I see a canyon red as well though 😂

For me, I like them all when they have blackout trim, clean black or chrome wheels, but I lean towards black, tire shine and a clean body. Clean Rivian colors bring out the beauty in all of them.

Get the Rivian blue with black wheels and dark out package. You won’t regret it. I haven’t . The blue varies in the light as others have said. It’s a great color. I get a lot of comments.

My subjective point of view:
We have a blue s and every time I see another color s or t, I feel like we picked the right color. In the sun it has intriguing shades. But I my favorite color is blue anyways. I agree sometimes the riv blue seems a bit grey ish in the winter, but it does not appear to suffer from salty road conditions as much as other colors. The red look amazing in the sun with shades of orange glitter, but very dark perhaps at night.

I like Rivian blue as a color better than Storm Blue, but I still ordered Storm Blue because it's the exclusive Ascend color and why get the special edition without all the special edition things attached to it? For me it's part of the whole Ascend package. For me Red Canyon is still my favorite color, but my current R1T is Red Canyon and I wanted something different.

Although Storm Blue is only available on Tri and Quad the exclusivity factor means nothing to me. For my eyes, Storm Blue often appears very dark flat grey in some lighting with little blue remaining. Rivian Blue is bright enough to catch the eye of distracted drivers who might otherwise crash into me. Rivian Blue on a cloudy day or in a shady forest appears darker blue, but also richer. With dark wheels and the Darkout badges it's sharp looking without being gaudy. Rivian Blue it shall be. I recommend that folks try to view colors in person in shade and su n. A color on one's phone or computer screen looks a bit different from in-person. Looking forward to ordering Rivian Blue Tri Max by the end of November. I'm lucky that the new Eastvale SC is only 15 minutes down the 15 freeway from home. Good times are coming. Now if chuckleheads would stop burning down all the national forests.

I like the rivian blue. A couple people who have owned for a while say that it’s a bit of a trendy color that they tire of just a tad. But to each their own.

No regrets. Rivian Blue is still my favorite color. But Limestone, Canyon Red, and Compass Yellow are a close 2nd. I haven’t seen Storm Blue in person to have an opinion of it, but I’m guessing I’d like it as well.

Oh and I forgot to mention that Rivian Blue looks awesome with stealth PPF as well!
