Hellooo! I am a (very excited and shorly to be) 500 newbie and I went for the Idol pink but its a bit of a misleading name. Also, the idol pink on the fiat website is nothing like the real-life colour. Lets rename it to something more apt shall we? Hummmm I rechristen it Blackberry Pearl. It is actually a metallic lilac. Its exactly what I wanted, girlie yet subtle and grown up. Here are some photos I took at the dealers which actually give a very accurate depiction of the colour. This is not my car by the way, she is still being built! :D

Wow it's beautiful!!! I knew it wouldn't be as pink as it looks on the website but it's still a really lovely colour! Thanks for sharing. What type of 500 are you getting? I am hoping to get a twinair lounge in idol pink.
 
Ooh hello Madzspurs! Ahhh, we can be fiat friends! :p

I'm getting a Twin air lounge Dualogic with 16" multispoke alloys, complete with all the delicious chrome I could muster and a bespoke interior with heated seats and lilac leatherette and pearl sparkle vinyl seats and door inners (stop cringing boys! :p)

Its an odd twist as I always dreamed of a lilac 500 and had no idea that the idol pink was more in the vein of that colour until I saw it. I've recently ordered and my car is already at stage 16 in the factory but it will take a little longer as the bespoke interior needs to be fitted.

I can't wait to post photos and see your idol pink 500!
 
You can also check out the idol pink on the Italian fiat site, its ACCURATELY depicted on there, they call it Rosa Diva. Why oh why are the colours so very inaccurately depicted on the UK Fiat configurator? I'm amazed a big company like Fiat don't hop to it to fix that.

More snaps of Idol pink I found on an Italian google search. I've seen it both inside and outside of the dealership. Inside it is a more muted baby lilac, outside it is more vibrant. The boys may not agree but I think its to die for and not at all tacky, really VERY classy whilst being girlie. I am bursting at the seams with excitement for mine. She'll be with me in early December! :D

Is it just the lighting or has it got a pink Fiat steering wheel badge?
 
I did wonder that, it looks purple doesn't it. I suspect its just the lighting. The lights in car dealerships combined with digital photography probably results in some funny colour dilusions. Of course I don't know if there may be differences in Italian fiats or if this is something quirky they did for the Idol Pink/Rosa Diva, hopefully it is but I somehow doubt it. I was too consumed with the outside of the one I saw in the flesh to take a good look inside, I didn't take the second set of photos I posted, I found them online.
 
I splashed out and ordered the 16" multispokes on mine, can't wait to see how they look! I think the wheels in the photo are the 15" standards on the lounge aren't they or am I mistaken?

I got mine ok Friday and I'm in love! I had not seen the colour when I ordered but I knew I wanted it whether it was pink or lilac. It's a fab colour. Sometimes it looks pink, others times it looks lilac and in the dark it looks a bit silver which is fantastic because it doesn't scream "pink car! Key me" haha.

Always a good thing. Whilst of course with me being a chest beating alpha male it's not my sort of colour, I do see why people would like it and it doesn't have the stigma of the Barbie hot pink 500 where most will assume is driven by a platinum bleached blonde with loads of fake tan.
 
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks for putting the Italian pics up. I'm still trying to save for as big a deposit as possible to keep the monthly payments down :( Desperate to get it ordered! I can imagine how excited you must be!
 
Hi.
I am nearly ready to order my 500! I've waited about 5 years for this lol. I have a dilemma though; idol pink with black leather or white with red leather? Love the pink/lilac but don't know if its too much and whether ill like it in the flesh as no garages near me have one ! Those who have them do u still like the colour? Xx

Personally I'd go for BNW with red leather, but that's just me!

I think you are either a pink person and you know it, or you are not. Pink for me was a no brainer but if you are not sure if you will like it in the future then I would definitely not go for it. I LOVE the pearl white and was seriously eyeing that one up. I think its classic looking but yet still very chic and feminine! I love it with the red interior personally for a bit of fun but, again, I can't see you regretting a black interior, its super classy with the white too.
 
Thanks guys for your help. I've decided it's def pink I'm gonna go for! I love it more everyday! Lilac Bettie how did u get custom interior ? Sounds lovely do u have any pics? I like the ivory ambience but not sure on seat colour was gonna go black leather but then it's all black inside apart from the pink dash bit xxx
