I went sage green basically to help save water during the california drought, right before the skies opened up and haven't stopped. 😅 That said, the bit about lacking reflective metallic bits isn't the case at least with the sage green XC40; it glistens pretty nicely in the sunlight. The fjord blue models that I've seen out on the road are also brighter than the website suggests to my eye, but maybe that's just against all the muted earth tones on the road?

My C40 is RED, frightfully in-your-face RED. We have a Kia Soul in yellow and it's beautiful. I'd have gladly bought the Volvo in biright yellow, fluorescent orange, candy copper, or ANY color more interesting than black, grey (GREY!), muted green, or white.

Mazda still sells that incredible brilliant red and there are a dozen wrapped Teslas in the boise region in colors from irridescent purple to pink to matte olive. It's the battleship greys that make me nuts.

You would drive this? I'm all about avoiding black and white but this is A LOT of yellow!

It was from an Instagram page from Thomas Iöv:
Yes...but what I meant is the images to date are not real painted cars, they're Volvo colour renderings from the digital world, made to look like real cars. Until we see it in a real environment it's hard to say for sure. But I think it's great they're offering a colour! ;)
