The recent announcement of seven colours for the MG6 in the UK:

* black - Obsidian black
* red - Manchester City Red
* white - white peaks


and metallic:

* silver - Scotland silver
* grey - fog gray
* blue - Lake Xinlan
* orange - Birmingham orange

includes three fashionably dark colours and white.

auto, motor + sport are running reports on "what new model to buy?" including the paintwork choices in production.

Taking the Audi Q5, we have:

• Brilliant Black 15%
  
• Daytona Grey Pearlescent 7%
  
• Ice Silver Metallic 6%
  
• Ibis White 17%
  
• Lava Grey Pearlescent 10%
  
• Phantom Black Pearlescent 23%

- these main greys, blacks and white are around 80% with 15% other greys.

Blue is 3% and red (the only bright "colour") a mere 1.3%, below Brown at 1.5%!

They need to add a Biomorphic Green one to the collection

And then make the colours available on the MG5 and MG6. Although the MG6 comes from a different factory.


Do those Audi customers have a choice or does Audi decide that only 1.3% of their cars will have any colour?

I think the market is glad to be grey!

I find it surprising how many owners of grey cars will say "That's a fantastic colour" when looking at my MG, yet they would never buy a coloured one themselves! Mine is only ignition blue too!

MG - Be different.

So long as the MG's grey colours assist sales.

I really like the Birmingham Orange!
