So it's confirmed Limestone has its's own exclusive color matched badging! That's why they are taking so long to show the trucks in Limestone!:CWL:

Uhhhh... I see it too, but I swore it wasn't there in the original hi-res photos.

They're watching us...

The website has been updated with a new image, it did NOT look like that 2 hours ago.

Yes they are. It totally wasn't there in the original. The conversations at Rivian HQ have to be great. Something like this, I imagine:
Marketing Boss: "These pics are great. How did you get the Limestone Pics?"
Intern: "Photoshop Boss... No one will ever know."
Two hours later:
Marketing Boss: "Are you kidding me. These photos didn't even get past the troglodites at the Rivian Forum. Get it FIXED!"
Soon to be former intern: " Got it Boss. I will just add some yellow highlights, and they will never know."
Boss: "Anything else?"
Former Intern: "Yea, they want some better communication on deliveries. "...

Forest Green:

“Dark green with a high metallic content that produces
both strong, bright highlights as well as dark shadows,
changing with the vehicle's contours.”

My wife I were just discussing the other day that we hopes the FG has metal flake in it for some glitter ? Given we’ve yet to see one, this is a nice little detail for us.
It’s a forest green similar to Toyota’s one, or MINI BRG II.

real nice

I was going to suggest that maybe they had frankenstein'd a truck originally painted a different color and were just lazy/careless in not removing or masking off the badge before painting so it got painted over in the same color. But the fact they've already fixed it in photoshop tells me it was almost certainly shooped all along!

"...and we woulda gotten away with it if it weren't for those pesky kids on the forum!"

I'm now feeling more confident it's not authentic.

Between the badge "fix", and Shultzy's analysis he just put on YT (he's a photographer & Photoshop guy), this is looking more bunk.

And how freaking silly is it to fix the badges now? It's like a kid trying to hide a mess when you've already seen it.

Someone uploaded the wrong picture or applied a wrong filter or setting for rendering the image!
Big deal!
Frankly I'm more underwhelmed by the color itself! I know it's only one picture, but I was hoping it to be more lighter gray. This looks more like El cap. Hope it's the lighting!
