...and the Electrodash Grey looks very good on 500. New Orleans Blue is pants though... Anyone seen them in real life too?

Seen New Orleans - horrible. Looks even more like a Micra

This is starting to annoy me. When I first heard New Orleans Blue was going to be on the 500. I was excited. It's my favourite colour for the GP and Panda. I still haven't seen one but everyone else who has hates it.

Saw a New Orleans car this afternoon and agree it looks awful. It takes away all the charm of the 500

I can't see New Orleans Blue being very nice, but I can imagine Electroclash Grey will look sweet. I'll be popping down to my local Fiat dealer soon so hopefully they'll have some of the new colours in

I phone Scrogg & warn him!!!!!!

Does anyone have any good pictures of the new colours on the 500? I.e. ones that look more realistic than the ones on the Fiat site?

I think Electroclash Grey might look very good, though I'd imagine it would be a bit 'generic'.

Ive seen one in the grey, it looks exactly like a Micra as they were available in a very similar grey when launched techno grey it was called.

New Orelans Blue looks good on GP and Panda especially, but on 500 it just looks WRONG! The grey one looks great, I would have chosen that colour if it was available then, that how much I like it...

Found these pics on autozeitung.de. It looks really bad

Link for the gallery http://www.autozeitung.de/node/273961/overview?vt_id=273979

I think the blue looks really nice!!

sorry, I love this kind of blue in alot of cars, but on the 500, to me it just isn't working........i want it to but it doesn't.
any pics of the new grey? how does it look vs. a Punk Grey?

I quite like it. But why no Baby Blue? The Cha Cha is too faint, New Orleans is possibly too obvious, and the new grey will doubtless be smart, but still - er - grey

The 500 is very colour sensitive.
I still like the green, and I don't like green cars

That reminds me of an original 500 that does all the shows, its a horrid blue like that... Fiat, that looks awful on the 500.

I personally lovew the colour, but not on the 500. Looking at those pics it makes the 500 look well...the best way to describe it is MAINSTREAM.

Not sure if I am making sense, but the 500 loses some of the retro charm it has in this colour - perhaps it is because it is a modern colour on a remake of a classic?

I suspect Mr. Average will buy them by the bucketload because of its mainstream look, such a shame no one had the imagination to do a totally new colour rather than dip into the Fiat paint tin?
My Im grumpy this evening

Well you can all go to Hell. I like that!

Just need to see it in the metal to confirm.

I live 5 minutes away from Dundee's main fiat dealer and pass it regularly, the bit where they prepare the cars is just visible from the main road and i see all sorts of strange things in there!!

i think that dealership has either a mad Dundee United supporter customer or manager, as the fiat cars that show up in that flourescent orange thats used for the panda cross 4x4 is unbelieveable!!, ever seen a 500 in that colour?, i have and it looks great! really retro

i've seen the new orleans blue ones too, imo they look to grown up in the flesh, they have lost the cuteness, that phot flatters it somewhat, although i imagine with a full chrome pack, the contrast would work

I have to say that on those pictures I like it quite a bit. It is perhaps a bit modern, but the 500 itself is so retro that it still sort of works. Might change my mind on this, but I might just order that colour
