The best and only green for me..   Jeremy A. (Jmansphc) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 11:47 am:    wish mine was white.....   Glenn Guinto (Glenn) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:00 pm:    Chawton White!!! -hides the scratches better -glenn   Jeff Bieler (Mrbieler) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:11 pm:    Epson Green Alveston Red Oslo Blue (only on the Disco, I don't like it on the RR)   olered Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:13 pm:    Rioja Red   Neil Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:14 pm:    Blue.Mmmmmmm. Not nearly enough of them. Does no one else like these??   gil Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:15 pm:    Avalon Blue   K. March (Apexdisco) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:17 pm:    Woodcote Green. I also like the redish colored one.   gp (Garrett) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:21 pm:    i do dig that kent green in the new trucks. saw one this past weekend. pretty nice. i have been 2 for 2 with epsom green.   RVR OVR (Tom) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 12:29 pm:    Willow Green. The only green to go with. Looks like OD green. I nestled into a line of Army Hummers on the highway and blended right in... Tom   John Kruger (Johnnyk) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 01:00 pm:    I obviously like Yellow, but I am also partial to white or the color of the 94 I had. It was a teal green, I don't know the real name for the color.   Jack Miller Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 01:02 pm:    Have you guys seen the paprika-colored discos? Those are pretty sweet! What was this color named and was it a special editon or something?   gil Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 01:03 pm:    does paprika = kinversand?   Ho Chung (Ho) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 01:17 pm:    with the exception of few people, everyone seem to be dishonest in this poll.   gp (Garrett) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 01:26 pm:    Ho thanks for noticing that i am one of the 'good people'. i feel the love.   Paul Long Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 01:37 pm:    I want black, She want white. White won. Now it's my turn to zebra stripe.... She doesn't agree that's the best of both worlds. And I AM being honest here. Do they stripe Chawton white or is that a special pure white when striped? (White gold we agree on now didn't exist in '99 and she won't let me get a new one just to change colors) What else is a guy to do?   ken knebusch (Charlotterover) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 02:03 pm:    i like that new kent green garrett mentioned, next the yellow!   Andrew Maier (White96disco) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 02:32 pm:    Alpine White. Is the "paprika" a metallic, where the vehicle looks copper in color? Andy   Carl E. Cedeholm (Cederholm) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 02:41 pm:    Kinversand!! ...or Paprika with scratches Carl   Roverine Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 03:13 pm:    Well, I have White-Gold, and as I've said before, I like it because I am lazy, and it doesn't show the dirt & scratches as much. HOwever, I am very partial to the Kent Green & Epsom Green. I saw a nice looking Kent Green Disco in Laguna Beach on St. Patrick's Day with a personalized license plate that said something to the effect of "Clover Rover" (abbreviated, of course). Kim I also like black, various reds,,,, oh heck, I like 'em all (I change my mind a lot)   Jack Miller Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 03:46 pm:    Yep... kinversand's the paprika color. Kinda girlish but it is unusual and mysterious. When was that color made in the US?? I just saw one here for teh first time in Michiagn, US. I think I am going to join DiscoWeb. This place is the shit. White gold is also a good color.... Jack   M. K. Watson (Lrover94) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 03:46 pm:    any color as long as its ZEBRA'd!   Jeremy Katka (Jkatka) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 03:57 pm:    Man no one for Willow Green Scarry thing is I didnt notice that my truck is the same color as my house till I got home JK   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 04:14 pm:    The wife picked Epson Green. I really want to paint it Sandglow, but she'd kill me. I think white Discos look like they're lost from a UN convoy. Just MHO..... lol... -L   KJ Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 04:54 pm:    One more vote for White Gold! Karen But don't get me excited about zebra striping again!!!!   RVR OVR (Tom) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 04:57 pm:    jeremy, read up, i am willow green. and, ho, i am not lying. i love the yellow color, i just can't see myself in it. kind of like a shaved head, i'd love to still have one, but it is just not for me. tom   Andrew Maier (White96disco) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 05:06 pm:    I saw the paprika/copper on a DII getting on the highway here in Milwaukee. Lost UN convoy, eh? Never thought about that, but it's true...   John Lee Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 05:25 pm:    This has to be one of the funniest threads I have read on Discoweb. Isn't there even a single person here who will admit to being inflicted with XD envy?   KJ Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 05:29 pm:    John, It's Nature's way. Everyone loves their kid, even if they are an ugly bugger. Now, if Chickety were to magically appear in my driveway.... Karen   Andrew Maier (White96disco) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 05:36 pm:    Have we heard from Ho yet?   Curtis Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 05:39 pm:    I have always loathed red on vehicles. However, on some rigs it actually works. This applies more to the D2 than the D1. My wife made me get this color, but I dig it now and get lots of compliments: http://www.expeditionexchange.com/ontheroad-moab/P0000510.jpg Cheers, Curtis   Jeff Anderson (Groovydude) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 05:49 pm:    I like YELLOW the best!!! Its rocks, adds more traction and gives you super human off road abilities!!! I love YELLOW! All you YELLOW lovers can come out of the closet now its the new milennia and we are excepted. Don`t be afraid its ok to have YELLOW envy..hehe   steveII Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 06:23 pm:    desert tan.... must have desert tan.... steveII   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:15 pm:    Black black black. Everything matches black Snorkels, steelies, bumpers, you name it. But when we bought it, I wanted blue, but the wife won. And yes, I was the one who had to cough up the $300 for that, not her!   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 07:17 pm:    Having said that, I must add that I spend quite a lot of time kinda light brown color;)   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 10:04 pm:    John, No XD envy.... I have CT envy. The sandglow yellow is what I want, not the bright AA yellow. -L   Roverine Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 10:25 pm:    SteveII, "desert tan.... must have desert tan.... " Well, I guess you could say that "Rrrrrricccky" is kind of a desert tan (?) ... I'll let you ride around in my "Ricky" any time, LOL (...you just need to put your ear muffs and a helmet on, LOL) Kim   jmon Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 11:41 pm:    conniston green is the only one for me....   Ron Posted on Friday, March 22, 2002 - 11:46 pm:    Portofinio Red (95) is nice and I like Bonetti Grey but I would have chosen: British Racing Green (97-98ish LSE color) or Woodcote Green (50th aniversey and 98-99) Ron   Ross Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 12:15 am:    Conniston with a white roof...anyone? Woodcote XD Yellow White striped... New "Vienna Green" Formerly Kent Green I have now... British Racing Green, 97 LSE "For Sale" Rioja Red, 97 Wife's Mall Crawler Portofino Red 94 D90 ST Ross   Roverine Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 12:34 am:    Ross, You have too many Land Rovers. Kim maybe jealous? LOL   ron Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 01:10 am:    Anyone see the white roofed discos? Color other than white but with a white roof. Supposedly made around 95? I have been looking for one since I heard they existed. ross is this what you had? Ron   Carl E. Cedeholm (Cederholm) Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 09:51 am:    Kinversand=Girlish???? "dems are fightin words!" last Holloween my friend said I should put a stem on the roof, dress all in white , and tell everyone that I was a pumkin seed. Carl 99 DII paprica/copper/orange/rust=Kinversand!   Ross Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 12:52 pm:    Ron, I wasn't aware that they were made by the factory. But I've always really liked the Conniston with White roofs on the D90 SW's. I am half/a$$ looking for a Conniston Disco that I can paint the roof white. I'd love to see pic's of one so I can decide. Here in the South having a white roof is definitely the way to go. Roverine, Yes my name is Ross and I'm a Roverholic. I actually have another Disco that is a project that I did not list(too embarassed). My wife thought me becoming a Rover Sales Guide would cure me...My second week there I Bought a D90. If I'd have stayed any longer I'd probaby own a D2 and a Rangie... Ross   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 12:54 pm:    Java Black, like my wome.....I mean coffee. Yes, that's it Java black with a hint of earth tones (mud)   Douglas Jones (Ozaukeedoug) Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 12:59 pm:    Is there actually a difference between Java Black and Beluga Black? I'm doubtful. Andy, we'll have to get Brian to find you some U.N. stickers for "El disco blanco"   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 01:19 pm:    Hey Doug, When I picked it out at the Dealer, I said "I like the black one." Well I was corrected instantly with the dealer saying, "No Paul, That's Java Black." Very Comical, I thought.   JRoc Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 02:49 pm:    When I hear the word Disco I instantly think of Saturday Night Fever. And what's the most memorable article in the movie? John Travola's WHITE disco suit! White's definately the way to go! And on the trail you have to play stayin alive at full volume!!!   KJ Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 03:27 pm:    Yeah, I hear if you turn it up REALLY loud it will get you over the obstacles in Moab...... Karen ;)   Andrew Maier (White96disco) Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 03:58 pm:    UN stickers, eh? Sounds good to me...   Paul D. Morgan (V22guy) Posted on Saturday, March 23, 2002 - 09:39 pm:    "Hey Man, Turn it up" LOL   Markd1x2 (Markd1x2) Posted on Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 09:31 am:    Tell me again which one you think is Kyle ?   Bill Leek Posted on Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 02:08 pm:    I agree with Ron. British Racing Green and Woodcote Green are my 2 favorite colors. But, here in the strong, hot sun in Kansas, a vehicle in any color other than white becomes an oven in July and August.   chris browne Posted on Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 10:04 pm:    Best: Portafino Red. works just as well on Defender and Series Still luv it 109k miles later, Worst is Kniversand, a close relative to Roman Bronze that LR stuck on the RRC back in the late 80's   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 10:38 pm:    I'm not a Kniversand fan at all, but the worst was Charleston Green.... that was Rover's teal color. (Sorry Johnny K! ) It really wasn't true Charleston Green, either, which is a real color, an interesting color, but Rover just borrowed the name to make teal sound better. -L   bryannusc Posted on Sunday, March 24, 2002 - 11:12 pm:    I like the green and yellow but would never actually get one if I was going to use it offroad. I'll stick with white.....   Ron Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 01:44 am:    But there are two teals Leslie, The teal is caprice teal, the charleston green is much lighter. Ron PS can anyone name ALL the greens LR offered in the US since 1987 Charleston Cypress Epsom Caprice Coniston Woodcote Willow Vienna British Racing Ardeness Kent Now who knows the hard ones   Greg Davis Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 10:40 am:    Damn, not a single vote for my color, Blenheim Silver. That's funny, 'cause you see that color everywhere. Oh well, I guess most of the Blenheim owners are posers so they aren't on the list anyway! Right, Ho?   John Kruger (Johnnyk) Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 10:59 am:    Are there any pictures of a white roofed Disco on this site? Anyone know where I can find one? John   gil Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 11:22 am:    ron.. you forget the best of all the greens... EASTNOR!   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 11:44 am:    Coniston is better   jmon Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 11:56 am:    coniston is the best green..its the land rover emblem green..its the color of evergreens..its just a great traditional color..white with zebra stripes is a close second   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 11:59 am:    Easy there Greg! My Disco 2 is Blenheim, and I don't like to think myself a poser...   Greg Davis Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 12:45 pm:    At least I got you to cast another vote for our color! Hehehe. Nothing personal, just wanted to hear from my fellow Blenheim drivers. ;~)   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 12:45 pm:    LR logo: It's not Conniston, it's closer to British Racing... -L   Craig Kobayashi (Koby) Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 02:41 pm:    No offense taken! I was being facetious. You can see pics of my Blenheim Silver DSII in my gallery: http://www.discoweb.org/craigkobayashi/index.htm The Blenheim masks scratches beautifully!   Eric N (Grnrvr) Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 03:44 pm:    Coniston is still better.   Erik Olson (Jon) Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 08:04 pm:    I second Eric N.'s opinion on Coniston. Now, who has a picture of the white roof over a Coni body? Someone must have a picture of this?! Cheers, e   Erik Olson (Jon) Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 08:25 pm:    Maybe the Coniston and White looks something like this? e   Ron Posted on Monday, March 25, 2002 - 11:21 pm:    I have only heard of them (white roofed discos) Alyssa "supposedly" has seen one. The folks at the dealer had one when new and it took forever to sell. The story is that they were made for the mexican market but due ot lack of demand sold in the US. They were 95 models I think. Now who has a picture of one? Ron PS good one Gil! anyone else?   brian kluge Posted on Tuesday, March 26, 2002 - 09:54 am:    Beluga Black and Java Black are two different colors... well, they may not actually be different colors but it certainly tells the year of the vehicle. Beluga was first offered when Disco's came to the US, then Java took over maybe somewhere around 98'ish, but I don't know the year for sure. Andy, the UN stickers are on order. But careful what you wish for. Those stickers may get you shot at by the right-wingers out there. Your sticker pimp, Brian Kluge Milwaukee   Marc Posted on Tuesday, March 26, 2002 - 01:12 pm:    Ron - I have what I assume to be the forefather of white gold - it is a goldish 95 - you seem to know all the colors - what is it called? I got some touh up paint from my dealer and it took like 5 months to come in. Also, my roof is in rough shape and I have actually been thinking of painting it white. I had kind of given up on the idea, but it still lurks in my subconcious. -Marc   Andrew Maier (White96disco) Posted on Tuesday, March 26, 2002 - 01:52 pm:    Kluge, I _am_ a right-winger -- that's why I really want the SFOR sticker! Andy   Lawrence Tilly (L_Tilly) Posted on Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 08:00 pm:    Avalon Blue. Looks like a dark green when a little dirty and shines up to a deep blue with a little effort and wax, and hides scratches pretty well. Can't get much better...except Zebra stripes of course... L_Tilly lnctilly@attbi.com 96 Disco "Beowulf" NH, USA   Bill Molnar (Circekat) Posted on Thursday, March 28, 2002 - 11:21 pm:    Black. The lil' sticker says Black/Charcal. I almost wish I could read the Arabic writing, bt I'm willing to bet that it says Black!!! 94 Disco (Wee Beastie).   Ron Posted on Friday, March 29, 2002 - 02:34 am:    I think it is Armada Gold which on Range rovers would be called Roman Bronze, it would say for sure on the touch up paint. There are a lot of really rare colors (like 1 or 2 each) and rare colors (ie really unpopular and only available 1 year). One that was florida gold on 95 range rover new body style. Like bright yellow gold. I really liked it. There were the hella edition D90s which were one of each of 12 different colors. Ron   Anthony Melillo (Tonym) Posted on Saturday, March 30, 2002 - 09:14 am:    Chawton White. Almost got black, my second choice.   Ramsay (3toedsloth) Posted on Wednesday, July 17, 2002 - 11:41 pm:    Vote 3 for Silver.   Bill Molnar (Circekat) Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 12:38 am:    The Wee Beastie is dead, but not forgotten. The replacement, the Snooty Beast is (drum roll please..) wait for it... Black! Sorry for the drama, but I like it in black with the great ability to show all the stuff you have been into with it. Just my .02 Bill M.   Ron L Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 02:33 am:    Java Black, but I hear if you run yellow than you dont have to do the trails at club events. Ron L   Marc Gonzalez (Marc) Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 09:33 am:    Oslo Blue with smokestone. But, my seats are lightstone. I would have got Red if they made it in 01. plus sometimes a night it looks black, so it's a two for one special... Marc 01 Oslo Blue   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 09:58 am:    GOLD!!!! I think it's actually "Roman Bronze" but I like White Gold too. It was my pick even before I found my Goldie. And Epsom Green with Bahama Beige has always been my favorite. But the next Disco I buy will be that 97 color...it was like seafoam green/blue. Anyone know the name?   Greg Davis Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 10:37 am:    Sus, it's Charleston Green, I believe. Kind of a metallic Turquois/Blue?   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 10:51 am:    Yeah, that may be it! I had a friend in college whose family all had Land Rovers. Her brother was leasing one that color (this was in 98) and they called it the 'Mint Mobile.' I loved that car/color! Her mom had the Bright Red Range Rover with the black and red interior which was really cool too!   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 10:56 am:    The white roofed Disco looks like a Mini Cooper! (Which I think are adorable!)   Dee Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 12:40 pm:    I liked the Artic Blue on My Old 88 RRC, But Epson Green is where it's at. ti seems to highlight the trail pin striping very well   mustache Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 02:44 pm:    Bonatti Grey with a misfits sticker on the back to set mine aside from all the cell phoning, starbucking soccer moms in Los Angeles.   Nathan Hindman Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 04:19 pm:    FWIW, I've seen one of the elusive white roofed green Disco Is. I acutally thought at the time that it was a custom job by an owner with D90SW envy... Run into it a couple times here in Boulder, CO in the past year. If I find it again, I'll try to snap a picture. My impression of it is this though: cool in concept, pretty cheesey in person... Nathan Hindman http://www.PangaeaExpeditions.com ps - my vote for favorite color: Sandglow, but I'm a little biased.   Jake Hartley (Jake) Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 07:11 pm:    I have to vote for CAPRICE GREEN (teal)! I know that it ain't popular, but I can always find my truck in a parking lot.   Ken RED RVR Posted on Thursday, July 18, 2002 - 10:03 pm:    RED is the best although white is prety cool and silver looks good on most vehicles. I was in Savana GA about a 1 1/2 to 2 months ago and saw a zebra disco lifted, After market bumper and big tires looked realy cool! Anyone know whos it is? Ken
