For those of you who haven't had a chance to see some of the new colors yet.
I had a quick stop at my dealer and shot som pics of some of the new colors.
Pls note that these are only intended as a reference so you can see new and old side by side.
Sorry about the fingerprints...had no time for polishing
The colors are:
Platinum gray and Space gray -- Titanium II and Silver gray.
Dakota Cream beige and natural brown -- Auburn and Beige.
*Edit* As you might notice, there seems to be quite a lot more sparkle/metallic flakes in the new ones.
Cheers

Thanks!
PlatGrey looks very nice... I like the fact that is is so dark (almost black)
It actually looks fairly hot with natural brown but it would be nice to see pics of this leather in an interior.
Seems that Sweden is ahead of the posse ...
Keep us updated

Thanks for the pics.
They do show however that white balance and exposure level of the photographs are critical, For example the Platinum Grey is quite dark in one out of three photographs but appears much lighter in the others.
The idea of providing the old colours for comparison was a masterstoke.

But actually, the whitebalance is adjusted to the same temp for all pics.
The fact that Plat gray looks a lot darker in one of the pictures has to do with incoming lights and curvature. It was my intention that I would shoot the pics from different angles relative to the incoming light just to show how the color changes it's appearance.
The plates on the lowermost pic didn't produce any reflections due to the curvature slanting upwards in the pic (I hope you knw what I mean)
