Is there a Rivian shop in your area or within driving distance? Test drive one and look at their color samples. Move them into the light and shadows and see how they look to you.

R2 reservation
I went with silver because I really like it and it reminds me the silver 2005 bmw 330i i bought used as my first car purchase on my own about 20 years ago! i missed that car ever since i traded it. manual transmission, rock solid. believe it was the last na inline 6 in the 3 series, should have kept it.

I get what you are saying about about the CC color having a touch of green. But it is certainly not teal. To me that is what makes it better that Rivian blue. But there is nothing about this color that is the antithesis of sporty, masculine or professional.

edit: now that I post this. CC is pretty teal. Still, an awesome color.

That color is an enigma. It looks so good in some pics (like this one), but the R2 I test drove was CC and in person it looked much more like that color swatch and I didn’t care for it at all.

I’m still trying to see them all in person before my Nov/Dec window gets here.

The most masculine color is Borealis, because it shows you are independent and confident. I do think CC is the most "feminine". I would be happy rocking either color, but I prefer the more fun Rivian Blue to the CC.

Personally going Launch Green. My brother is going with Borealis, so we don't want to have the same color. I like that Launch Green kind of reminds me of taking a ponderosa and blending the pine needles and the bark together, and that's the color you end up with. It looks good in snow, with red rocks, and fits at home in the mountains. I appreciate that it won't be as widespread as CC.

I think both of the interiors look nice. The stitching on the black looks better than the stitching on the grey, but the grey one vibes better. The flooring of the grey is attractive, but also ridiculous for my uses.

If I had the option, I would have gotten Rivian Blue or Compass Yellow [cries in Compass Yellow tears].
I bought a purple Pixel as a spare phone for my MIL, but things changed. I will likely end up using it 😀. Purple wouldn't be my choice, but I have reached a stage in my life where I don't care.
