The other 3 colors are not as picture worthy because of how close they look to their matches on camera. Purple looks like blue, orange looks like red, and white looks like beige.
But maybe others can see the difference better, so if anyone wants me to shoot the remaining 3, I will.

I think it would be cool if you did, because I don't think most have seen all of them yet. Your pics are gorgeous.

Incredible beauty Kratos! My friends will be blown away when they see what this car has. I sure hope there is no delay in shipping. I should have it by mid March.

Ok after lunch today, I'll put up the shots of the remaining 3 colors. I'll probably just edit the previous post so that you can see them next to their close match for comparison.

Nice Are you able duplicate the same lighting you took the first ones with? Looks like at night in a garage? Also, what camera is that? When I've taken pics of lighting at night, it never comes out like that. Do you have an exposure setting on?

Yes I will duplicate the pics the exact same way. I took those pics at mid-day yesterday in the garage (my garage is pitch black closed). Camera is a Nikkon D90 I think.

The 3 additional colors have been added to my previous post, next to the colors they closely match.

It is THE BEST interior combo hands down! I would do it again and again and again and again. I've seen every different interior option in person now and mine's make them all look inferior, as if my car is a totally different brand or something. People think they're in a Bentley when they get in it. If you get my combo, be prepared to be BLOWN AWAY!

I'm serious....

When I had my Deep White interior, people were also blown away. I got more compliments on that car than any other car I have ever had.

You are right. The car looks very special in the Porcelain. The Deep white is a pure white but not available this year.

thanks, lads. i was already sold on the porcelain/black combo. the (slight) hang up i have is pairing it with the metalized ash wood. new option for the 222. have never seen it before. maybe the dealer has one i can see in person. think it looks awesome in the pictures on kratos' sled. i think i'll go that route. cheers.

The other option with that interior for trim would be the piano black which would also look great.

The metalized ash wood is brand new and never seen before and the piano black is a more traditional look. For me personally, I am a piano black guy, but I must admit the metalized ash looks really good in these pictures.

I have seen the metalized ash in person and the pictures are very accurate. Here is another picture of the ash, close up.
