I put together a summary of colors actually ordered for the first 489 cards headed to the US (information gathered from VIN Analytics). Every available color was ordered at least once. What does this say about the average 992 buyer?
Color Qty Gentian Blue Metallic 57 GT Silver Metallic 57 Jet Black Metallic 54 Aventurine Green Metallic 51 Black 47 Carrara White Metallic 46 White 36 Chalk 31 Dolomite Silver Metallic 30 Agate Grey Metallic 23 Night Blue Metallic 17 Guards Red 16 Carmine Red 8 Racing Yellow 5 Miami Blue 5 Lava Orange 3 Lizard Green 3
It says to me they're hungry for more new colors if the strong Gentian and Aventurine numbers are any indication (though I'm one of the surprising number of Chalks).
This is pretty awesome. Gives me hope I will find one in an interesting color this time next year. Gentian blue, GT silver and Aventurine Green are all great colors.
The only thing that does disappoints me is the low volume of my favorite color: Carmine Red.

This says the majority of buyers pick boring colors
My previous cars were gray -> black -> silver, and the last thing I want is another silver/white/black/grey car. I'm quite tired of it
Mine will be Guard's Red or Miami Blue - still undecided (leaning Guard's Red because $$)

Those were my two favourite colours as well. My SA persuaded me that Miami Blue would be a bit much for a daily driver (and more of a GT model colour) so I went with the more subdued Guards Red (matches my Alfa Stelvio).
Does this include the dealer optioned release models? They typically have lots of options, that I believe are a Porsche requirement, and probably have a more mainstream assortment of colors since they aren’t ordered by customers.
Sorry for this OT post:
Stelvio is really good for a low-cost small SUV - I needed this to carry my dog. I have the Ti Sport model with Performance Package (LSD, active suspension) which cost $44k (max option $55k less $11k discount)
PROS: best handling/steering vehicle I've had in a decade (better than my BMWs) - even wife notices the dynamics, good acceleration (0-60 in 5.4), nice sound, excellent seats, perfect fixed paddle-shifters
CONS: hesitation from standstill (tiny 2.0 liter with big turbo), materials not great, terrible nav screen colours/resolution (use CarPlay to make it bearable), unknown reliability (got 2 year/30k miles lease)
SUMMARY: Due to massive discounting from Alfa this costs only $5k-$10k more than a fully optioned RAV4/CRV/CX5 and is infinitely more fun to drive, pretty quick, and 80lb Golden likes the cargo area
