A walk-around video in good natural light would be awesome (in and out). White balance variances and phone post processing really make all these photos a crap shoot. I watched your delivery video but iirc shots were mostly indoor and low lighting.

Ah, I already know the color looks great in overcast light. Sunlight has me on the fence. Meanwhile hoping a PG car shows up at the track this weekend.

I didn't go with the leather interior, so my green trim doesn't go into the doors. I was on the fence about ordering it, as I hadn't seen the color in person prior to ordering, and thought it might be too much to have it on the interior. My rationale was that I could only have it on the original order once, and it was worth the risk. If I didn't like it, it would be easy enough to order replacement pieces after the fact in brushed or carbon. Once I saw the car and sat in it, I knew I made the right decision, and is one of my favorite things when I'm sitting in the car (behind the carbon buckets of course!)

Once I sat in Ron's car I knew it was the right way to go, so mines the same

Hmmm I like it but also maybe too much for me. I may go mute interior and spice it up w/ a neutral colored seat insert. Also love the hue in this shot but definitely looks oversaturated and heavily influenced by fluorescent light?

LOL, this is why it's so hard to know what PG looks like wirhout seeing it in person! The lighting was outdoor coming in through a big door in my trailer along with the LED interior lights.

Whatever you do, DON'T get yellow interior accents (stitching, seat belts, etc). And I am absolutely NOT saying this to reduce the eventual number of builds with my spec.

I would probably go Chalk to be as neutral as possible, minimize bringing out any yellow tones in PG as ineffectively as possible, and because I like wasting extra money to be nitpicky over Silver stitching.

Here is a video of my car in direct sunlight with partial clouds as well as a small view of my interior. I personally think if you are going to go with the interior paint match to exterior, then don't do deviated stitching in another color. Stick with silver or chalk as the green adds enough contrast that any other color stitching would be too much.

Don't mind all the dirt, it was raining that morning for autocross.

It's funny though, this video again shows the polarity of this color. In this light, filmed on an iPhone, the color looks pastel and muted. In person, in fact it's incredibly vibrant. And the interior being on the inside of the car actually looks darker.

As stated since this was on an iPhone, iPhone software tends to automate towards everything being high exposure. So keep that in mind.

Thank you! Not getting it in this video, but how much of the hint of yellow hue apparent in some pictures would say is true to life?

I’ve never actually noticed any yellow in person; always an intense green, sometimes flatter, sometimes deeper/richer. But then, I admit, I wasn’t looking for yellow. One tends to find what one is looking for, if looking with intent to really find it.
