What colour would you choose from those on the configurator?

I clicked Metallic Silver since this doesn't become too hot inside. With no lipstick but a read small door on the back. It's otherwise a bit boring.

What I'd like like more is METALLIC GUN METAL GREY, but it will get too hot.
Another choice could be Mushroom, but I'd prefer to have it a bit darker - like Khaki or so.
Or a mild Green like the (old) LR Defenders Heritage Green with a white roof.

@emax Agree 100%.  Would like mushroom to be a bit darker, more khaki, similar to the khaki color available on the G.  Also wish the green was more olive, less evergreen.

@DaveB That blue looks great.  Making me reconsider my choices lol.

I was pretty much set on the solid light blue with a white roof but when I changed to the snow background the combination above looked great.
The black roof is a stupid impractical decision, particularly in my climate, but so is the black leather interior. 
I figure it will have some kind of roof rack on it anyway. 
I am sticking with the rubber floor though so that is my concession to practicality.

And how many of us have paid extra for aftermarket rubberized floor coverings from WeatherTech/Husky/etc?  Skip the middleman!

I like the gunmetal thing most, a really elegant color, I love it.

But my choice is still silver. I think, gunmetal has a visibility issue. There are too many idiots on the road - even with daytime running lamps.

I think I'm back to classic Green with a white roof.  Down the road get some bronze alloys from Method/Baird/Rays...

Some help for your color tentativeness: this baby-blue is IMHO a no go. It's not far from pink, albeit in blue.

This is my third "final" selection. 
As the vehicle is totally practical by design I figure my colour choice can be totally impractical with gunmetal gray and a black roof.
Throw in the black leather interior as well. 
Keeping the rubber floors though
Going to have to get some dark tint on those safari windows

Yes, this looks really good. But I am more focused on practical considarations. Leather is absolutely noble, I have it in my MB W203 as well. But it's light grey and doesn't become as hot as black leather. 

With respect to visibility and heating in the summer I'd prefer a brighter color - and the standard seats. The latter ones will moreover likely save you two or more grands ...

But his is of course an individual matter. ;-)

Yeah I make some impractical decisions 
How many times do I wish that 35 years ago I married a doctor who loved to  cook and clean the house. 
Instead of a woman that likes to go on overseas holidays twice a year and lay by the pool.

If you have dogs, then a light reflective colour is a much better idea than a darker heat absorbing colour.

I now know why the green color disappeared from my configurator: If you choose a colored back door or a white roof, the body colors which do not allow this simply disappear from the pick list.

I'd consider it better to still show them, but tagged with  "not eligible with a white roof or a colored backdoor".
