And RJ confirming LG in the last clip

I like the color, but I'd love for a color nerd to tell me how LG qualifies as green. Pretty sure it's launch grey. (Not bitching, genuinely curious).

Its definitely a shape shifting color. If you think about the nature of green and what they are trying to do color wise (earth tones) you will see that nature has greys, greens, browns, etc. So its probably a metallic color mixed with all sorts of pearls that looks/changes with different angles chamo style.

Just seeing other people enjoying the truck is making me excited. From a build/design perspective, they seem to be doing nearly everything right - I can't wait for mine.

As for the Launch Green actually being green - its the same naming as Subaru's "Cool Khaki Grey" - as in light blue . Though I do agree the color looks really good, I'm torn between that and Rivian Blue right now

It will look more green in person especially in full sun.

The lighting is definitely a factor - I thought that the Forest Green was Midnight Black until RJ said otherwise. Can’t wait to see them all in person, but for now I like where Launch Green/Grey is at!

Certainly is an interesting color. If you look at a picture Ducktruck posted in another thread, the overhead lights show a green tint but looking at the front of the truck in the front corner section looks more gray, the lip above the wheel appears has some browns. I've seen these color shifts in several other photos as well but these seem broader, the other ones seem to only shift brightness, not color changes.

Also good to know that Forest Green has a decent range of colors too depending on lighting. Canyon Red and Rivian Blue obviously gonna give you at least +2 HP/Torque. ??

Launch green is a lot less army green than I expected. It looks like dirt won't be as noticeable on it as it would on most of the other colors. If selecting it would get me a delivery sooner, I'd be happy to choose it.

Need to fix the configurator, Launch Green is nowhere near that level of green ?

After going back into the configuration tool and switching to LG/FE, I now see that it renders Launch Green and Forest Edge very similarly and inaccurately. I know from seeing Forest Edge in person that it looks more sage than avocado. Now it makes perfect sense the color they were going for.

Bummer about March 1, 2022.
