I swear, I keep going back to FJs. I can't help but feel that most of their colors were inspired from them.
Let's see-
Cement Gray = Limestone
White = White
Yellow = Yellow
Silver = Silver
Black ~ Black
Voodoo Blue ~ Rivian Blue
Army Green ~ Launch Green
Red ≠ Red Canyon
Nothing in the FJ line for El Cap.
Nothing in the FJ line for Forest Green

Yup, overall, I think you're right. I really want a nice burnt orange R1S, but I really hope Rivian doesn't copy the godawful Magma peachy orange. I would like them to copy the the Hot Lava Scion color though.

Forest Green reminds me of Timberland Mica, which Toyota offered on the Tundra in the mid-2000's.

For the other two, I go to Nissan:

The red reminds me of Red Brawn that Nissan used in the mid-to-late 2000's on the Titan/Armada and Frontier.

El Cap reminds me of "Smoke" that Nissan also offered on those vehicles, from the same era.

Good look at how Limestone and LA Silver colors change with light angle and how they compare to each other.

Limestone on left and LA Silver on right.
This is awesome and super helpful.

LA Silver is super sparkly metallic. Limestone seems to be more like Audi's "Nardo Grey", which apparently has a bit of a cult following: https://www.instagram.com/nardo.grey/?hl=en

Yeah, looks somewhere between Nardo and the Cement Gray on the FJ Cruiser. I'd be okay with either or anything in between.

Has anyone seen this color in person (not counting the swatch)? Feel like its a myth at this point.

Last I asked CS (about a week a go) they said it is still an option and they will build them but starting to doubt about half of what I hear from CS. Not because they are incompetent but because they don't have the info.

I've been waiting for the Limestone too!

I can't imagine they'll scratch the color. Why would they? It's also not feasible to me that they can't figure it out. More likely it'll be a special finish and so they're: A. Saving it for a special reveal, and B. May need to bring in some special machinery to get it just as they want it.

I found myself wondering yesterday if Rivian might not come out with a "high-performance" R1T in the new year and make Limestone the default color for the package.

This was reported before as possibly Limestone (from the Long Way Up) but no idea if it is, was or still is the actual color of Limestone. Could just be LA Silver with dirt on it.

They could ask VW how to make moonstone Grey and call it limestone. ?

Haha, yup. I think it'll be some shade in between one of these.

I was told it’s very similar to BMW grey (the fake Porsche Chalk or Audi Nardo).
Turns out there’s at least 3 shades of BMW trendy grey but I’d think it’s the one we see on the M5.
