See if you can find an individual color you both love is my recommendation.
So wait...you ordered Atlantis or...? Do you have it yet?

Looks like we have considered the same exact colors except I had Twilight on my final list instead of Velvet.

I haven't seen San Marino for years, but remember always drooling over it. I don't was a dark color though, and that would be pushing too dark I fear.

I just don't have the guts for Twilight purple. Absolutely beautiful color, no doubt. But I know myself and I'd regret it after a few months (or weeks).

Atlantis seems to be bright enough and metallic enough to show off the lines and creases of the g80.

Because I'm not getting an allocation until mid '22, I'm holding out hope for some special 50th anniversary colors. Hahaha

Great color choice for indy paint. Would love to see it over a tartufo interior and with the bicolor wheels.

If I do Atlantis it will be Silverstone interior and 826 bicolor.

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing those. It looks like a cloudy day in those pics and the metallic flake is still visible! Would be killer here in FLA!

If you ever come to south Florida after she arrives let me know. Haha

The wife strongly prefers Isle of Mann over Atlantis. I'm torn also. I like both, and have similar concerns for both (i.e. what will I be most happy with a few years from now). This game sucks. Hahaha.
You just described my exact situation except my wife doesn't give a shit and it's my 13yo kid who prefers IoM Green. I'm planning to put in a build order Saturday and I'm curious what you ended up with. Every pic here looks different, but the video posted in Comment 40 is gorgeous.

Atlantis looks great!

I'm surprised Riverside blue (was standard on the G06 X6 for a time I believe) hasn't come up in this thread or on this forum.

I think it's a great color on the X6, just not sure on the G8X. Curious to see if anyone out there has ordered it!

So a couple of thoughts here….first, Atlantis is MUCH less green than the video in Post #40 shows. I had a sample made, and it is blue. The pictures of it in the sun are pretty accurate. In the shade there is some tealish tint, but not overly dramatic. Always less green/teal than Snapper Rocks for example.

It seems like a beautiful color, and if I had been able to see it in person I would have seriously considered it. I just couldn’t make myself pull the trigger on such a large purchase (for me) with a color I was afraid I’d regret.

In the end I went with San Marino blue which, while much darker, is a color I have seen and always drooled over. My wife is a bit disappointed, but really if I chose anything other than Twilight Purple she’d have been disappointed anyway. Lol

That said, I hope you get what you want and love the heck out of it!
