Yes I couldn’t decide between Ammonite and IRR.
I went on a factory visit to see all the colours.
In the end I thought that I would get bored with the red so I went for the Grey.
I’m sometimes asked if it’s an Aston. Ammonite is similar to AM colour.
Not sure if should be insulted or pleased

It also depends on wheels and interior; I was set on a white exterior for a while and thought the red interior was a non-starter, then I saw a rhodium with red interior and carbon blades with black pack. To me it is the exactly what the car should look like. I have seen each of those colors/features on other cars in various configurations and just didn’t think they liked as good. I think silver is a classic color for the body style

Thank you for the advice!
Options desired and used for my daily search:
*'16 V6 model for budget reasons:
1. Silver or perhaps gray color
2. Adaptive exhaust
3. Performance seats
4. 10 spoke alloy/chrome/diamond cut wheels
5. dual climate control, homelink, meridian surround stereo
CPO and AWD would be wonderful, but puts it out of reach.
I've never purchased a car without a good thorough look at it and test drive. Trusting the dealership for an accurate description and having it shipped would be a leap for me, but might be a strong possibility if the distance is too great and its the exact car I'm looking for.

BTW, given the weather we have in this area, I would recommend adding in the "Climate/Cold Weather" package to your list. The heated seats and steering wheel are glorious.

This is why silver was in my top 2 choices. Lovely, shows off the curves best of all IMO. That said, each colour has its positives and most have some negatives, I have never seen an F Type in any colour that I wouldnt drive or want in my garage save perhaps the gold foil one Ben Kingsley was driving in "Collide".
