Passion tells me to get the Copper, but i fear after a year i get bored of it and it is not sexy anymore.

Black, i like it, but... problem with maintaining it clean, and it is very sunny here in Dubai, wonder about the sun effect on the paint.


Please advice me, i already ordered the car but i can still change the color

Thank you all

Obviously I'm biased towards the copper. I will tell you that after nearly three years, I have not tired of the color. In fact, I was considering getting an '06 till I found out that copper was discontinued.

I have owned a black car, and will never buy one again. Had to wash it every week just so it would look good for 10 minutes.

If these are the only colors you are considering, then go with the one that is going to make the statement for you today as they would probably both be very high maintenace as far as cleaning goes.

If you are willing to consider other colors, and if you have lot's of dust, I would go with light color. After black, may favorite color for a MO is pearl white with gold trim....

Default NOT BLACK!

Definitely not black! It's extremely delicate, it scratches in the autowash, and it looks old really fast. I would go for the white or the chardonnay, which is really clean!

Enjoy your new MO!

Copper??? There is no more copper. They replace it with the bright reddish. I would recommend the merlot or white. Mine is merlot and I just love it. I also love white.
Black is very high maintenance and as you know it will show everything as far as dirt and paint imperfections.

Default color for Murano?

We have a pearl white 03. Easy to keep clean for awhile. We live up a dirt road so dark color would look dirty really fast. Also, white stays cooler longer in summer heat and engine bay components will last longer, I am told. So... I would suggest a lighter color.

yshimy

you've got to be kidding! Are you really asking us which color to choose? It is insane! But here it is:

1. logical one – go for white. In your country it is the only color that makes sense.

2. go for gold – for the money you guys are making.


Black? In tropics? You’ve got to be kidding!

Thank you all Guys for sharing your views...

We have the Mo in gold and all available colors but the inside trim will be only Baige. 3 colors available with the cabernet which are Balck, Bright Copper (Tiger Meca) and well, can't remember.

I already reserved one and will get it in 2 weeks from now (hopfully before) it is Bright Copper, i said what the heck, i want to change, all my life i got Black and Silver cars, even my family cars used to be there colors.


Anyway, thank you all for sharing.



Cheers

I love the copper... It's got wonderful depth to it, and both the chrome and black accents look great against it.

Now we want to see pictures, once you get it!!!

Sure thing, i'll post alot of photos of my Baby once she is here.

Also i'll be bugging you about alot of Mods, Info, DIY for it, as it still got alot of room for fine tuining.

Here i can't have it with Fog lights for example, not even spcially fitted, they don't have it or provide for later installation... very sad.

Anyway, thanks for the help, will keep you updated


Cheers

Guys, I repeat, there is no more copper. It's done, history. You can get it on FX35.

Sunlit Copper may no longer be available in North America, but it is certainly available to our friends elsewhere in the world.
