Here's an Isaac

I think the one in the estate review background is Indium Grey.
... are you sure?

This photo from that review looks like Indium to me

Just configured a Golf GTI on the VW website. I know the colours in the configurator aren't a true representation of the actual colour, but based on an Isaac Blue and an Indium Grey Golf in the configurator, IMO the colour in the photo above looks much more like Isaac Blue than Indium Grey. Whichever of the two it is, I like it!

I had to go have another look on my desktop monitor.

@Exonian - sorry, you are right :embarrassed:

@SRGTD - it is a fecking gorgeous colour. I believe the Germans call it Dark Iron Blue.

This photo is from the review also, and does look quite grey, even in my monitor! -

Isaac Blue or Dark Iron Blue, I don't care what it's called; agree Daz Auto, it is a gorgeous colour. I think it would be my first choice if I was considering getting a mk7.5 GTI  :cool:

  :grin:

I looked at the pics on several different monitors myself then googled a load of Indium Sciroccos as it does look very ambiguous depending on which of the collection of photos you're looking at.

Why they had to rename it for the UK is anyone's guess, being as it's an English name on the German konfigurator.
If it had been Dunkel Eisen Blau (sp?) or something then it'd make a bit of giving us a more familiar sounding name that posh old ladies could walk in a dealership and pronounce.

Anyway Daz, Isaac and Indium will both be invisible in the dark!  :laugh:


As SR says though, it's very reminiscent of Graphite on the previous chassis generation cars.

Here's the colours in the Irish brochure. Looks like its called Iron Blue here too.

Looks a bit like graphite blue alright. I had that colour in a MK5 GTI and it was really gorgeous... really looked well with the GTI red bits.

MK8 GTI Clubsport. Reflex silver, Estorils, and a few other bits.

Looks a lot bluer rather than green undertones - prefer blue/purple hues on a grey. Much prefered my Pewter Grey Scirocco to the Indium Grey that replaced the colour.
