Default Real-world photos of XC90 colours

Does anybody have (or know of) any decent real-world photos of XC90 colour options? Ideally side-by-side? You'd think somebody somewhere would have just lined up one of each colour and taken a pic with all of them in the frame (so under same lighting) but I can't find anything like that.

Ideally looking for pics of both greys and both silvers as everything else is fairly easy to imagine / tell the difference.

Possibly going to change the colour of my order, not sure.

Nice chart. When I was choosing, I relied on google image searches and auto trader adverts.

Also, worth a wonder around your dealers forecourt, as not all colours (if any) are exclusive to the XC90. We were able to look at an XC60 and V70 in Saville Grey for example.

My dealer also had colour samples on the wall which you could move around, while not great as they were only smallish swatches, you could at least see them all in the same light.

Cheers Greg, that's exactly what I plan to do at the weekend. Just wanted to see if there were any useful pics / resources online too. Cheers.

I have found our Magic blue is very dark, you only really see any blueness in bright light. It does however have a lovely sparkle to it!

I saw a Bursting Blue R-Design parked on West Park in Harrogate on Sunday afternoon, looked stunning in cloudy low light!

Saville Grey looked to have a bit of a green tinge to it when we looked at an XC60 in bright sunlight at the dealers.

Colour is clearly very subjective, but this link is similar to how I feel (the descriptions more so than the actual pictures).

https://www.carwow.co.uk/blog/2015-v...0-colour-guide

I'm not a huge fan of white cars in general.

I've seen a fair few of the colours over the past week, and really like the Electric Silver on the XC90.

The Black is pretty standard (can't really go wrong with Black) - The Bursting Blue looks amazing, and the Magic Blue is beautiful in the right light.

I have Electric Silver on my Mk1, and it really is the nicest Silver you can see - imho of course
It has a nice sparkle to it.
