That’ll be a green, presumably?
Correct, Galway Green to be precise – and straightforward. This takes inspiration from “the deep valleys, mountains and lakes” of the county, according to the official press release.
There’s more: “Galway Green inspires epic expedition through the rugged ridges of Ireland’s picturesque scenery, where immense peaks and rousing views await.”
The other heritage hue is called Buckingham Blue, though the release doesn’t make any mention of the royal family.
What are the other four Atlas colours?
Mara Red is a reinvention of the existing Masai Red colour, taking “its radiant tones from the Maasai Iands in the preserved savannah wilderness of southwest Kenya.”
And the old Pageant Blue has been replaced by Pantelleria Blue, said to embody “the expansive waves of the Mediterranean where it meets the jagged volcanic terrain of the Italian island of Pantelleria.”
Aira Green and Jenolan Gold are the all-new colours, inspired by the “mossy banks of the Aira Force Waterfall in the Lake District in the UK” and “the ancient rock formations found in the world-renowned golden limestone caves of Jenolan under Australia’s Blue Mountains,” respectively.
It has been confirmed that these colours will be available to Irish buyers of the Defender, though the new hues arrive later and not all colours are available on all models. Check with your dealer.
