Check out this White Silver R - I have to say it looks stunning  :shocked:

Looking good, wouldn't pay that much for it though. Reminded me of a lighter and less shiny reflex silver.

I voted for Isaac Blue it's a no brainer. Kind of colour i've been waiting for,for years.I call it 'gunmetal-blue'.Surprised to see so few votes for Atlantic Blue.After seeing TonyJ's pics on another thread,it would be my second choice.

Don't know if this helps anyone but I finally found some decent pics of a GTD in Isaac Blue/Dark Iron Blue.

Most of the other pics I've seen are either under showroom lights or blazing sunlight so it's nice to see it in natural daylight.

It's the colour I've gone for on my new GTI too and if this is how it looks I'll be over the moon.

Thanks Beezer - good pics of Isaac in normal light.  Very happy with my choice now.

I need more Black Rubin pics. Seen pics/video on the VW used car site and a set of pics on the FB page of Swansway VW. Still can't figure out whether Black Rubin is like Nissan's Nightshade (liquid black, then purple in direct sunlight) or just plain maroon...

Nissan Nightshade is a metallic colour and it's the metallic flake particles in the paint that makes it appear to change colour in different lighting conditions from black to a deep aubergine colour. VW Black Rubin is a non-metallic colour so will look pretty much the same colour (burgundy/maroon) under all lighting conditions.

If there's a Black Rubin Golf that you've seen on VW's website that's a reasonable distance from where you live, why not go and see it 'in the flesh'. That way, you'll know for certain whether you like it or not.

Black Rubin is a colour that was available (albeit with a different name) on Polos circa 2008 and also I've seen more recent Audi's with it too.

Its definitely purple. Very purple.

I'm actually surprised to have not seen more on the road yet, but then again I don't think I've seen a single 7.5 driving around yet - only at dealers.

Probably because of the stupid lead times!

Finally some proper photos of Isaac Blue, thank you. Really nice colour. Though just like Indium Grey it is going to look better up close in a show room, than on the road where it is going to blend in. Not a lot different from the other dark cars in the background.
