I guess some of you know I rejected a cognac interior car this year after a mix up with spec lockdown, or lack of it, dates. The very first G29 I saw was at a launch ‘do’ in spring 2019 with cognac, and I thought it was pretty smart tbh, a few months later I saw a black G29 with Magna red interior and as much as black and red is my fav combo the red was just too bright, even orange and being honest I couldn’t see how I could live with it if I bought a Zed. Forward to a few months ago in the dealers and looking at swatches I thought these colours have changed since launch, they’re toned down, indeed looking at the sales guys Magna red in his company car the difference in tone was striking, even he agreed they looked different and had had the same conversation with colleagues a few weeks earlier. Anyhoo the reason for this ramble is I’ve just stumbled on a photo of the ‘new’ Cognac which I’ve not seen before in pics and just shows the difference in the two tones and to me anyway confirms what I said about it being washed out now, these two pics are very accurate in tone from what I’ve experienced hence this post, I’d be very interested if anyone that thinks the ‘Washed out’ Cognac looks better than the ‘Original’. There could be a little filter going on but truly these pics represent the difference to what I’ve experienced very very closely. The first pic is identical to the car I rejected, it was at the dealers when I went to thrash out a deal. 
looks class anyway , the top pic looking more like the early E85 "beige"
