Any thoughts on what Sanstone is actually going to look like?

In the brochure, the color swatch looks pretty dark, but the actual picture of the vehicle looks pretty light. And the swatch for the Havasu Blue also looks pretty dark, but when I saw it on the car lot, I thought it looked much more silver than blue. Should I expect the same from the Sandstone?

I've seen the Acura in the similar color and really like it (don't know the official name). Do you think its going to be more gold or more brown?

Always tough to tell what a car is going to look like under real outdoor conditions from that little swatch in the brochure.

Thanks! 46 days (tick, tock...)

Picture

go to this site. This should give you an accurate idea of what it will look like.

Yeah, that's the one towards the back of the brochure - we'd me happy with that, but when we customized our pilot, this is what we came back with:

I think that one looks more brown/green, and quite a bit darker than the one in the brochure (same picture you attached).

We're pretty happy with both, but it would be nice to have a better idea. I guess it will be a "surprise" when we go to pick it up.

Here is the one from the link that you provided. Looks different, don't you think?

The silver on the build your own site looks nothing like the real thing. All things being equal I think the Sandstone will look pretty close to what is on the small insert for the EX on the inside cover of the brochure. It is also very close to the swatch in the back.

There is also a vehicle two pages in from the back without a color label driving through snow. It appears to be SageBrush (note the gold on the rims) This one looks worlds apart from the one near the center of the book.

Not sure but;

I've got one on order with a Aug 15-23 build date and I am really nervous about the color. My wife insisted on the saddle interior and to keep peace in the family I went ahead with the Sandstone ext. My first choice was the red with Grey; but I know I will love the Pilot, just hope I can live with the color.

My guess is that the Sandstone is going to look much more like the 2nd pic than the 1st. After looking at the MDX and seeing the almost identical colors that they use for the Pilot and MDX, I would venture to say it's going to be more like the light beige than the faded army green.
