New Colours for Octavia

I have found out that two colours have been dropped for the Octavia - Sahara Beige and Graphite Grey. Just my luck - these would be my first two colour choices for an Elegance . They have been replaced by Cappuccino Biege and Anthracite Grey. I've get to see any cars in these colours - has anyone out there bought one in either of these colours and if so, could you upload some pics please?

Thanks

Re: New Colours for Octavia

If you search back through the forums you'll find I've posted links to Skoda's press pics of both grey colours - the new one is just slightly darker than the old one. (Or just look here)

I've no experience of the beige's though.

Oh, and my car is the Anthracite Grey, so there's a picture of it in my avatar.

Re: New Colours for Octavia

Sahara Beige is really good, especially on the (our) estate - can't understand why they dropped it. Their depiction of Cappuccino Beige makes it appear - what can I say - dull...

I guess as they say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"
I didn't like Sahara Beige as it seemed to me to be too muddy and sandy looking.
We bought the new Cappucino - it is a more subtle silvery brown, and a number of our friends have commented that it is a pretty colour.
We would not decide without seeing a car that colour , the dealer had one in the showroom, and took the trouble to move it out on to the forecourt so we could see it properly in daylight.
