What a Dilema
I have today officially rejected my vehicle due to bad paintwork and am awaiting Land Rovers reply, the dealer has informed me that I will have to pay for the mileage on my vehicle and that I can order a new one as soon as LR get back to him. Now the fun begins what colour do I have as it seems all dark Colours show a lot of orange peel (supposedly acceptable standard) and I dont like Silver.

You could always go for White and save £500
This could be a more desirable colour in the future seeking as the Police are taking up more and more Silver vehicles (debate now whether White is a colour or all colours put together etc) Coffeecup March 2005 TDV6 S - Tonga Green - Manual May 2008 TDV6 SE - Stornoway Grey - Auto Dec 2010 SDV6 XS - Galway Green - Auto

Debate?...... OK then...
If I remember correctly (which would be a first )
Colours in pigments are subtractive and colours in light are additive
Primary blue + yellow + red gives a mucky brown (near - black) in pigments and an almost - white in light...
So, on that basis, white as a pigment has no colour at all....
however, pigments are not really 'coloured' as all they do is absorb light at all (visible) wavelengths except those that go to make up the colour you see therefore, 'white' pigment reflects all wavelengths of visible light to make up the colour perceived as white (in natural light)
There ya go ! thats a start

The reasoning being that scratches would be less visible on white...
