Amber/Atlas Grey

Trying to make a final decision on upholstery color for a new order.

Has anyone seen any pictures / video of the merino leather Amber/Atlas Grey option? At the moment I only have the configurator to work off…

Normally there would be other car models I could use for reference but it appears to be a new color?

I checked several X3 launch videos but am at a loss so far….

I haven't seen a single real-world example of the Atlas/Amber combo, yet, in any of the release material or videos.

The configurator leads me to believe the Amber colorway is very similar to Cognac, though, so you may use that as a reference. Cognac can look very orange in some light and very chestnut/tan/brown in others, so I assume Amber may do the same; though "Amber" does sound like an orange-leaning color.

Could this be the Amber? It looks really mustard-like in this video though:

The arctic race blue metallic exterior is really nice. Don't think I'd turd it up with that amber/atlas grey interior though as just about any other color of interior looks better to my eye.

Yup, that’s the Amber as no other option even close. It looks more of a “mustard” colour in that video.

You're welcome. I was hoping it'd look more like the cognac from the G01. But it looks like mustard yellow is now in.

I would say it shows as brighter / lighter than cognac, but not nearly as orange looking as the configurators show
