I'm sorry, I just like the look (in photos, anyway). I think it's classic looking and elegant, and adds an air of dignity to the car that the Yellow/Black just doesn't.

Any who've seen this color config at the LA show: how does it look in person?

I'm so confused I don't know what to get.

I think the two look awesome.

It was very close to the color of my Lexus that I recently sold.

It looks quite good in person. There is a lot of depth to the green. I thought I was set on silver/black until I saw this combo. Out of the cars that were there, I along with my brother thought it was the most classy and expensive looking. The reflectors don't stand out as much either on the darker colors.

Now I don't know what I want, and from other posts it looks like I'll have to decide by end of next week. I stood there looking at the two cars, and the cute Asian/British Lotus girl approached me saying she recognized me from the day before. I asked her preference between the two, and she said "definitely" the BRG, that "it's a classic color." My brother who once was urging me to get the silver, is now urging me to get BRG/Biscuit.

It's hard for me because I spent months rationalizing getting silver (easier to keep clean than my current black car, easier to see by SUVs, silver matches the modern lines). Going with BRG/Biscuit means more cleaning inside and out. My brother countered that if I'm worried about that, why not get an '83 Ford sedan.

Thanks for the insight, guys!

BRG has been high on my list, I do agree with people above, BRG/Biscuit would look great. Add a couple of stripes and you're there. My only concern with darker cars has been due to a recent comment by Arno. He mentioned that the fibre glass is white and paint chips would show very well on darker cars.
If forced to order before actually seeing a Liz I'd order this combo, but I'd love to see a COM (albeit the pricing is making it harder to swallow)

Frayed,
That is the Elise type 25, it's a heritage edition, had red interior with Lotus crest in the head rest, it unfortunately wont come here, we've been asking for a stripe option to recreate that color. It also had black wheels.
cheers,

It is beautiful though.

Hopefully, a good body shop can duplicate the stripes.

Or more hopefully Lotus will offer a stripes option, BRG with yellow, Red with white etc.
