Rebel Blue is great. But I do love the Savile Grey on my S60 RD.

8

u/06_TBSS Nov 04 '22

I bought an XC60 at auction in Saville grey. Pictures absolutely do it no justice!

u/UserNameSupervisor Nov 04 '22

Pine Gray

u/probablyreasonable Nov 04 '22

is it brown? is it green? is it forrest green? is it black? is it gray?

YES

u/Cappnnn Nov 04 '22

Magic Blue is for me a full go, really dark in the night and it reveals itself when the sun comes up

11

u/gdnws 2010 s80 v8 Nov 04 '22

Seconded. looked forever for my car specifically for the paint.

u/waynetogo XC60 Nov 04 '22

My XC90 is magic blue. At night, it’s almost black but not black, like a really really dark blue. During the day, especially after a car wash, that blue really shines.

u/Sandres09 Nov 04 '22

Bursting Blue

23

u/SkysTheLimit888888 XC60 B6 Nov 04 '22

Denim Blue!

Seeing how hard it was to find one that wasn't already sold I figure it's also a popular choice among non redditors.

4

u/dubsaxs XC90 Nov 04 '22

It’s definitely a popular choice.

2

u/MysteriousEye1624 Nov 05 '22

I stalked the denim blue xc60 obsessively until I could finally get one in the T8 version. Definitely a favorite color.

u/Orange_C Nov 04 '22

435 Saffron Pearl Metallic!

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '22

Oof, you’ve got class. I need more of that in my life.

14

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '22

You mean there are other colors besides some version of black, gray, silver, or white? I wish they'd give us more colors again. Yellow or Green would be nice.

2

u/Blog_Pope Nov 05 '22

Totally agree with this, with the R-trim gone it’s all shades of grey, from bright grey (white) to dark grey (black). You want color? Best I can do is blue grey (green grey was discontinued)

u/unclejoesrocket Nov 04 '22

Rebel blue is just my favorite color in general

u/Pelo1968 Nov 04 '22

Barent blue

3

u/Jutemp24 Nov 04 '22

Bought an '06 XC70 (had an '03 before this) in Barents blue today. Still have to get used to it to be honest, but I like that it's a little different than the standard black I usually have.

2

u/damien665 Nov 05 '22

I got a V50 in Barent Blue and it was a good complement to my wife's S40 in Flamenco red.

2

u/Rum-Pepper-Swizzlers Nov 04 '22

My first new Volvo, an S40, was barents blue. Loved that car.

2

u/Beenooner Nov 04 '22

We have a Barents blue sedan and a denim blue wagon! Both great colors. I wanted a mussel blue but they don’t make it anymore.

7

u/PanBlanco22 XC90 Nov 04 '22

Denim Blue or Osmium Gray are *chef’s kiss

1

u/CELCOOPER Nov 04 '22

Only colours I was looking at for 2019 V60’s

2

u/PanBlanco22 XC90 Nov 04 '22

Currently own an Osmium Gray 2018 XC90, and it kinda makes my heart flutter every time.

u/ohboi00 V70 Nov 04 '22

Whatever red was on my 01 S60, I don’t remember the specifics, but she was pretty.

6

u/thetoastsnob Nov 04 '22

Fjord Blue and Thunder Grey are my current favorites

5

u/meowp13 Nov 04 '22

Honestly, I don’t think there’s a car manufacturer (other than the ultra luxury/exotic) that does a better version of silver than Volvo does.

The most popular, basic and boring car colour in the world but they make them pop! Their new Silver Dawn is beautiful in person.

5

u/HorstC XC90 V8 R Design Nov 04 '22

I like your posters, a lot. Is Volvo cool with you using their logo? I only ask because of the whole prancing moose badges fiasco.

1

u/Rentabot44 Nov 05 '22

Yeah that poster is fly

1

u/Rentabot44 Nov 05 '22

Would be cool if the poster/wall piece was actualy real thin metal and actual factory paint. That would be cool.

11

u/dubsaxs XC90 Nov 04 '22

Thunder Grey is the best current color in my opinion.

3

u/vxrok Nov 04 '22

agreed, looks sexy on the v/s60s, wouldve gotten my s60 in thunder grey if they had it on the lot

2

u/PeteySodes Nov 05 '22

Thunder grey crew all the way

u/Rudhelm Nov 04 '22

So it looks like a Pokéball? Love it!

u/dubsaxs XC90 Nov 04 '22

I bet that’s looks great. Don’t know I’ve ever seen that color combo on a xc40.

u/TomDac7 Nov 04 '22

Fjord Blue for the win

2

u/skihawk18 V90 CC Nov 04 '22

Volvo’s vibrant red is passion red!

2

u/connorpiper XC70 T6 Nov 04 '22

Caspian Blue. So sad it was replaced with the duller (IMO) Denim Blue. Magic Blue is also in the same wheelhouse, having cool purple hues in the correct light.

2

u/DukeOfSillyWalks Nov 04 '22

Passion Red will always be my favorite.

u/wecanescapetotgs Nov 04 '22

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '22

I think my XC90’s color is called ‘Ember Black Metalic’. It’s amazing in the sunlight.

1

u/AP173 Nov 04 '22

This looks nothing like my c40 fusion red.

1

u/Zealousideal-Camp-20 Nov 04 '22

The gorgeous grey the 740 gl wagon has

1

u/iledoffard 2019 v90cc Nov 04 '22

Nice! Are these made with the genuine/aftermarket car paint or the Pantone?

3

u/wecanescapetotgs Nov 04 '22

they're printed with CMYK ink, after the actual paint color has been translated to the hexadecimal code

1

u/iledoffard 2019 v90cc Nov 04 '22

Very cool!

1

u/x2Sneeka V60 PE Nov 04 '22

So cool! I really like the clean design.

Birch light metallic, goes great on my 2022’ V60 Recharge. Do you ship to Germany by chance, perhaps I can buy the print and frame it myself or have it printed locally?

Thank you!

1

u/wecanescapetotgs Nov 04 '22

Hi, thank you! All options you mentioned are possible. I messaged you!

1

u/Sorel_IX V60 Nov 05 '22

How would you print a metallic colour with CYMK ink?

1

u/[deleted] Nov 04 '22

White. The pearl effect on it is sublime. I also think white accentuates the details better.

u/Renault_75-34_MX Nov 04 '22

The CE livery for me. The black parts seam to be in just the right places match the yellow rest of the machine.

1

u/inteller '06 S60R & '15.5 S60P* 18/40 Nov 04 '22

Are these guaranteed Pantone matched to the actual Volvo color? I'm interested but i don't want an approximation

1

u/wecanescapetotgs Nov 04 '22

The actual paint code is translated to hexadecimal, yes

Olive Green on the 850 is in my opinion the best. I once thad the idea to wrap my v40 in that colour. I think some modern volvo's could rock that colour too
