GOLF R Rising Blue.. How does it looks?

[Komenda]

Just had a fiddle in Photoshop and those two colours are completely different.

Had a look on VW Deutsche and The top one is either Deep Blue Pearl or Inky Blue Pearl

How can photoshop tell you the original car's colours are different when it's only looking at an image? The photos were taken under completely different lighting conditions and judging by the quality of the images very different cameras.

Ha Ha Ha.. Nobody knows how is it!!, If any of you had a dealer with one of them, some pictures would help everyone. I don´t one see the car the day that I get it and say sh!t!, son´t like it at all!!

As said, it's a little darker than deep blue pearl and not as vivid, if that makes sense. Unfortunately taking more photos won't tell you any more than you already know - although there are lots to look at in this forum if you search the various Golf R threads.

You can see in the palette how close the colours are and by changing the hue and saturation to see if it matches.

Initially I did think it was because of the reflection of the buildings as they are very bright. Then I looked on the German VW site and they have the list of colours with samples. The DBP and Ink Blue look similar, Rising Blue is much lighter than both of them

Yes, and that compares the colour of one digital image with another - but not the actual cars. Which are the same colour.

It's not the buildings, it's the ambient lighting. The colour temperature and colour rendering of overcast daylight and studio lighting (which could be halogen, metal halide or something else) can be significantly different. Plus the paint colour images on the German VW configurator are a guide and can't, for example, convey the effects of pearl, metallic and base finishes. Having seen Rising blue I can tell you the configurator shade is way off.

Hi Guys I´ve seen one in Madrid!!.. It is amazing!, sooo different than the ones I saw on pictures. I took the right decision, "Rising Blue" is my choice.

Rising blue is a standard colour on the scirocco why not just go visit any dealer they probably have a scirocco in that colour or if theres as many sciroccos around your area as mine just sit at the side of the road for 30 mins one will come along.

I agree 

The black is too glossy and bling,
Gunmetal Grey would look better imo (but i would say that wouldn't i )

I don't think that really works on blue either myself. Red yes, silver maybe, blue no.
