Would be a wounder to discontinue. Cars all look the same these days, the more variety of colours the better. The Ford range from Ka to Mondeo are like a brother and sister.

May be due to the stuff needed to mix the paint was maufactured in Japan and since the disaster lots of car makers are puliing colours at the moment

Also they sometimes just rename colours and subtly change them. Shadow blue was dropped for night blue and they look almost the same. As week 22 is the model year change, it might be a colour swap.

I'd like the new shade to be a little greener if there is a change. What name will they come up with? Can't think of a better name than Viper green.

Rural Green, Royal Green, Volt Green. I dunno could be anything if they do change it. I think it'll be more darker. Not so "lairy" which is a shame.

No official update according to my source so definitely smacks of the dealer not wanting to do the paperwork to change the order. Also any colour changes are usually announced during the model change updates.

Apart from Grey (Indium I prefer to Pewter), I think Green is the best one.

I own a Viper Green 2.0 GT, but I really like the new Oak colour, especially with 'truffle' leather. BTW, did you know that Viper Green was originally a Porsche colour, reserved for RS models?
