Scout Color Poll #1

[eringer]

I keep going back and forth on what color I want and get excited every time Scout repaints the prototypes! Here are the 6 I'm excited about currently. While I don't want a Slate (more dinky than I'd like), their configurator tool just made me more and more eager to be able to configure my Terra.

I'm a fan of the Frosty Blue on the Terra-well done!

Agree. The lighter and midtones just appeal more than the darker do to the slab body sides

Yes! I feel like in the darker colors you lose all the definition of the lines that make the design so beautiful. I usually gravitate toward darker colors on my vehicles, but I think I'd be doing the Scout design team a disservice if I choose something dark. I want to show off their work!

I’m putting this here. Seemed like as good a place as any.

So the two roof colors we have seen so far have been dark, the dark grey and the black.

When you look at the Traveler there’s a black trim piece that goes around the car. On the doors the window frames are black so it all lines up and the spoiler on the back, the top half is grey, the bottom part is black where the lights is.

Here’s a couple Nats pictures that show what I am talking about.

There’s been talk of a light colored roof, potentially white. What is that going to look like? Will the top part of that spoiler be white and the bottom black?

Let’s say you got a PBY Scout with a white roof is it going to essentially have a black demarcation line around the whole Traveler that separates yellow from the white? I’m not so sure how that would look. Hmmm…

I don't know that I've ever really noticed other than the black roof. In the first pic it's almost bronze which looks pretty rad (even with the black piece below). Now I'm thinking about roof color options! Body match, black, white, gray, bronze...it would be awesome to have choices.

I keep thinking black because it will match the trim pieces and I don’t think I want a black trim piece between the body color and roof color but until I see it it’s hard to picture in my head.

I pointed it out to my husband when we were in Chicago. Unless you are really looking, it just looks like the roof, but it’s a trim piece and then the roof.

I think it might depend on the roof/body color combo (in addition to personal preference). Like for me, white roof + black band + Tahitian Red body seems like it would work, but to your point white roof + black band + PBY might look odd.

That's where the configurator/visualizer is going to be important!

99% sure it will. That the piece (the black line) that they are likely using as the mask line when the paint the roof. I guess if that material comes in a white color it could work but then more inventory to manage. I suspect the black line is there to stay. That said I like the gun metal so hoping I love a body color that works with gun metal gray

A bronze colored roof would be epic and haven’t seen a manufacturer do that before. With the Tahitian or even a black or dark blue color a bronze roof would look pretty good

Now I really want to see a bronze roof!!

Getting that color right would be tough. Almost a Champaign bronze with more iron/brown than the copper color-IMHO

This is a nice looking Scout and I really like the color on these wheels. Love the crème brûlée top. What do we think this color is? Army green? Something else?

I also really like how the stripe goes from marker light to marker light and incorporates them.

I’m ready for a color poll #2!!!

Man that's good looking!

 

[cyure]

And I should have specified it’s the wheels on the Scout above I’m wondering what the color is. It kind of looks like a dark olive green to me.

Exactly. It’s hard to tell, but I like it.

That’s a nice one!
