I like these new non-standard colours. I've had quite enough of the red/blue/white/grey/black spectrum.
 
Saw one for real the other day, bit close to that awful Nissan colour for my liking but we're all different.
 
be intresting to see off the panda listing what proportion the new colours take up in a few months time, will redo it once we get to 100

btw there are loads of new owners still to go on, so get cracking!!
 
Reminds me of the colour Vauxhall used to use for it's Tigras. Not a fan personally, but it's better than rep-mobile silver.
 
Can anyone tell me if the interior of a Samba Orange Multijet Dynamic has to be orange/grey? I know on Fiat's web site it's the only option shown but on line dealers seem to be offering a choice, including stone/grey which I would like. The local dealer is hopless as well!
 
Looks like you get a Grey interior with the Active but have to have Orange on anything else,very strange:confused:
 
I miss the original pastel colours. Whatever happened to Guacamole Green?
 
I have to say I'm not knocked out by any of the current colours on offer. I really miss the metallic silver option.
 
This colour looks good on a small car like the Panda. Many years ago, Ford used to paint big cars like the Granada in such bright hues and it could be quite scary.
My Panda is in Dry Turquoise and I regret that the bright pastel hues like this have been dropped. I certainly have no problems finding the car in the car park. Nice lady at the petrol station has taken to calling it Bluebell (better than my son's name for the car "The Gaymobile").

Me neither. The other problem is the 'blue interior' syndrome. Whilst New Orleans blue was pretty much my favourite, it had the dreaded blue interior which i just have a loathing for in any car. I had two MR2s with a blue interior, mind you that included blue dashboard and doors,carpets so it was all a bit much.

Best i could work out was a black panda with an orange interior, although black is terrible for keeping clean. Would have loved rumba red with a grey interior, but unless i bought a 100hp i couln't get it. :(

So i ended up going for a car where the dealer had already ordered it in cumbia beige. Not my first choice, but it could have been silver i guess and at least its the sand interior rather than blue.
 
I have this fiat panda with the same color, I can tell you that better seen than heard of! Most feedbacks are a bit hesitating when you describe approximately the color, but when most ppl see it, they love it! You will not regret it :)

Is it this color?

It is only availible for the 4x4 adventure...in germany it was called "Jagd Grün" ("Hunting green"), don't know the real english name for it.
