If the blue was more like Ford's "nitrous blue quad coat metallic," on my old RS maybe. Mine will probably be the first CY I will have seen, whenever that is..
No offense to those in this camp, but when seeing the pictures of the Yellow R1S, my totally disturbed mind immediately thought:
a) school bus, then
b) various characters such as Big Bird, Ronald McDonald, and Baywatch Lifeguards, and
c) I lack the requisite jou-jou to pull that off
We ordered the Rivian Blue for our R1T. We also like the yellow as number two. We would also like the red if it were real fire engine red and not that metallic red.
(Just got back home after a week vacation to see my beautiful yellow baby in the garage. Took it out for a drive to test everything out, still hums along perfectly!)
But to be fair, if neither Compass Yellow or Forest Green were options, Rivian Blue is my third favorite—and it's pretty close between all three.
Blue cars are just a "slightly less neutral" color in general to me. Usually they just blend into the field of lame white/gray/silver/black cars that fill parking lots, but RB is unique enough to really stand out.
