Default British Green or Italian Red

About to purchase V6S. Can't wait to order so it's off the lot.
Both have options I want (roof, premium, performance vision, leather) but missing the better sound system. Stuck on exterior color:

BRG has jet with camel stitching (if she had a classic camel interior--easy--that'd be my choice)

Italian Red is way tasty with an interior jet w/red stitch.

Colors are subjective but I'll take input cause I'm stuck...

Edit: Actually they're both good. It comes down to whether you want attention/flash. if so get the red. if not get the green.

what colors are the roofs on the two cars (assuming you're getting the convertible)?

P.S. not sure why you feel like these are the only two available. There are tons and tons of f-types sitting on lots in LA, Galpin; Hornburg; rusnak, in 2014 and 2015 models, in all colors and with pretty much all options.

It's a tough choice. The green coupe looks good in these pics. But the red looks good too.

Red also - think the colour shows off the lines really well.

I would go with the red because of the interior. I would take the BRG though, if it had the camel interior.

Mine is the It. Red with the camel inside.. looks good. No pano roof though as I don't like the look of it with the red..
Personal choice so best you decide so you don't look back later.

I ordered my coupe but those were my two color choices also. It was a difficult choice as I have never owned a British car (only German and Italian) and it seemed like heresy not to order the British Racing Green. However, I chose the Italian Racing Red because I thought it showed off the lines of the car better and it is hard to beat a red sports car. Both colors are the xirallic paint which I wanted. Not sure I would want the dark green with dark seating.

I have BRG with the brown interior. I personally think it's an absolutely stunning combination. I've posted pics of my car if you have time to do a quick search under my username. You won't really go wrong with any of the F Type colors. They're all a great fit for the car. The xirallic paint really does pop.

I saw the Italian red on a vert and the color is stunning. Would like to see the BRG. Can't go wrong really, but I am partial to darker interiors so red would be my choice. Which one, if sold prior to your purchase would upset you the most? Pick that one.

I had a green car and painted it red. Guess which one won car shows and gets the attention. Green is neat and "pretty". Red is bad ***.

Both colors are beautiful. I would choose red with black interior. Green with tan interior would be stunning as well..

I loved the BRG ever since I saw it at the LA reveal of the coupe. However, the IRR just spoke to me in a whole different way. With the black pack it looks mean and exciting. BRG is more laid back, sophisticated. Both beautiful colors though, especially in direct sunlight.
