What Color Will The P5 Be?

[Neal]

A little something to think about. We are all so used to seeing the Creamsicle P4, what color do you think the P5 will be?

 

[WilliamH]

Uninvolved people are used to associating Creamsicle with Elio.
Lets not confuse them.

 

[Gas-Powered Awesome]

Let's hope for Red Hot, but I suspect it will be True Blue or Rocket Silver.

 

[Indiana Dave]

Red hot. Just like the one I'm going to buy in 2016!

 

[Elio Amazed]

Just to be consistant, EM will probably paint it yellow but continue to refuse to offer yellow as an option.

 

[wjdom]

Voted Red, but would like to see White with black trim.

 

[Johnny Acree]

If it's red, will we think, it's just the one that was rumored to have been built?

 

[Ty]

I think we can be assured that it will NOT be Sour Apple, Rocket Silver, or Creamsicle Orange as they have used colors to help differentiate the different models. It would be too confusing to have to keep saying "No, that was the OTHER orange one."

So, that leaves
True Blue
Red Hot
Marshmallow
Licorice

Of those four, white doesn't show a deep color very well and can come across looking like an appliance or blank canvas. Black makes it too difficult to see subtle design cues... That leaves Blue and Red. Flip a coin. (but it'll be red)

 

[Buckeyejake]

My vote is for red hot.

Black doesn't photograph well because it hides the nuances of detail in sunlight. White, on the other hand, shows all the aesthetic flaws. Since silver and creamsicle have been used before, sour apple is a stomach-turner for most of us, and Elio needs to demo a new look, I'd guess red . . . by default. Personally, in the absence of yellow, I'd prefer red anyway.
