Have you seen any of the colors in person? I think It is important to see in person before you make your final decision. Launch Green was on my list of potential colors, but I was able to cross it off this weekend as I saw one in the wild and I didn’t like it. Rivian Blue was not on my list, but when I saw it in person, I changed my color to blue, though silver and el cap are still on my list. My suggestion is to go to your closest service center and try to see all the colors you are considering in person. With your delivery window, that seems doable before you have to lock in your configuration.
I have seen all of them except white which I feel is part of the problem….they all look amazing but I can’t buy 4 R1T’s ?

I was on the freeway today and passed up a big rig transporter carrying 2 R1T’s. One was Glacier White and the other was Limestone.

I was not impressed with Limestone and it was my #2 color choice. For those members who ordered it please check one out in person as it looks different than what is captured in photos and videos.

Then my suggestion is to cross off red and white off your list, so then you only need to buy two R1Ts. Haha. I think the R1 looks better when the light bar pops. With red, the light bar in the back doesn’t pop since the light bar blends in with the red. Same thing with white. Light bar doesn’t pop in the front.

Do you want to blend in with a sea of ubiquitous shades of grey, white, black or select something more unique and colorful?

Darker grays get lost on the road, since I went with that on my Jeep GC and Tesla I have zero tickets, could be a coincidence but going with El Cap to see if my streak will continue.

On taxi cabs?
I still think Yellow is going to be the sleeper hit of the summer... in the year it enters production that is

So I actually like the yellow for some reason but my wife would be a no go for yellow lol
Mine is the same, but I still toy with the idea occasionally

THIS. I was at the Phoenix service center this weekend and was able to see white, black, launch green, and Rivian Blue. Seeing Rivian Blue in person completely sold me on that color - and I've changed colors several times prior to Saturday. It doesn't look anything IRL like it does in the pictures - it's a deeper blue. But yes - try to see them with your own eyes before making a final decision.

It’s funny you say that as that is one of my concerns with red is that the two tones of red against each other I am not big on.

So where I am adding lights and running calls from home is a no go however I was thinking red with tinted windows would be very representative of my job! Kinda thin red line look. My only concern is the orange hue it gives off in the sun.
I'm sure its subtle and won't detract from the underlying red tone

Red Canyon. It's a great color IRL. If it's under consideration at all, it should be your choice.
What other colors did you see in real life? and how did seeing them change your choice (from what color)? was red a favorit color before seeing it on R1?
