I was recently told by a dealer that some RR paint colour options were shortly to be changed (e.g. Galway Green to Aintree Green, Rimini Red to Firenze Red), but other dealers I have contacted have suggested otherwise.

Can anyone confirm one way or the other?

No mention of Colina Lime (LR's answer to Ford's Kermit Green) for the Evoque? Firenze Red is a new metallic red for the Evoque too, then there is another dark green but it isn't called Aintree and a new Blue and Barolo Black which used to be only available for FFRR Autobiog is made a standard colour for the Evoque too.
My 82 y.o.mother has just put a deposit down on a Colina Lime with Black roof Evoque Dynamic Plus................. most unlike her to be so wayward as she has driven Wine Red Honda Civic's since god was a boy! I wasn't meant to know but my poor Dad wanted me to talk her out of it but she just loves the Evoque Coupe and it will be the first brand new car she has ever bought! 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

There's also Indus Silver - the European brochures list the colours as available from March 2011.

And a very dark metallic green called Kosrea Green I think 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

I know there are various new colours for the Evoque - the above are listed for the other models.

Edit - Kosrae Green is also a Freelander colour.

Whenever I have seen the River Indus it's always been more sh tty brown than Silver................. I wonder if the marketing people who think up these names have ever been to the places they name the colours after.

Actually I've been to Stornoway and they WISH their town was a deep and rich as the colour. For me Stornoway is mis named, should be Stornaway.

(flame proof suit on)

As Tim has mentioned, there are a few colour additions to coincide with Evoque, a couple of which have/are being introduced on 11my Freelander.

There is no news so far for the UK market relating to FFRR, however I will keep my ear to the ground and keep you posted.

Thanks James.

Tim how could you Stornoway is my favourite FF colour and it never shows the dirt unless its absolutely filthy.

I'm on my 2nd one Vogue..................... just had the FFRR hot washed at the local pressure washer this afternoon - first wash in 4 months but apart from some mud from last weekend at Inveraray you wouldn't have known it. I'm wondering whether I should go for a Stornoway Evoque later in the year to complete the hat-trick 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes

Not really any use to anyone but when my D3 was in the dealers today I was sitting looking through a Sport brochure and theres 2 new colours available in it: Siberian Silver and Izmir Blue. Maybe I'm just being stupid and people already know that but they could be introducing some new colours/changing them? Nothing different in the FFRR brochure though.

Izmir has been available for the RRS and D4 for about 2 years, just hardly ever see them in that colour, I know of only one Izmir D4 in the Stirling area. 2018 Mini Countryman Cooper S E All4 PHEV in Melting Silver - it’s whisper quiet in EV and polluter modes
