• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

Is it just me or why are there so few color choices?

Lets see we have white, silver thats really blue then dark gray that also looks blue then 4 flavors of black. I have seen lots of colors come from Kia that would look nice on here instead of the various shades of black.
 
I really like the pastel colors that Audi and Porsche have , agree the Telly is pretty limited
 
Part of the reason I liked the Hyundai Palisade better is because they had a nice Blue color. Hopefully next years model they offer better colors.

I put a short msg in their comment box last week about how it would be nice to have a metallic blue option on the Telluride like the "Gravity Blue" offered on the Cadenza. Someone actually did reply, nicely, saying that it isn't happening anytime soon.

Sangria? Moss? Maybe add a blue but other than that I feel like it is pretty well covered.
 
I think anything bright or pastel-ish would've looked like hell on the Telly. Someone with photoshop skills and some free time should work some magic
 
I like dolphin gray or porch paint colors, at least they are light and show what few body lines the telly has.

I like the color choices, but don't like some of the limited combos. I really wanted Everlasting Silver (I like the bluish tint) + Dune Brown (a must after seeing it in person)...but had to settle for Moss Green + Dune Brown (which still looks awesome...but I think the silver/blue + brown would look amazing). FYI, only exterior colors available for Dune Brown interior are white, black, moss, and black copper (which I saw in person and is impossible to distinguish from black unless it's sitting next to a black car on a sunny day). For several exterior colors (including Everlasting Silver) you can only choose black interior.
 
Plain old silver metallic would have been more my choice or gray metallic. Not a fan of blue unless its really blue. Everyone has personal preferences but the choices do seem limited to me. If I buy another Porsche they will make it any color I choose for a mere $11k additional so why am I complaining?
 
I agree I was thinking the silver would be silver not dark grey - I worry about stone chips on hood showing up real fast
 
The "Silver" is a light bluish silver. The darker grey is called "Gravity Grey."

Thanks, one is a steal and one I took on a dry day. These seem to be the wife's choice and since its going to be her car then its a go if I can find one on the loose.
 
I like those both colors fro pictures! Definitely wouldn’t go black. Moss is cool and white doesn’t look good on Telly.

Dark Moss is Boss
 
....................white is usually my go to color .....................2 , 5 series , 1 X6 , 1 550 GT , and my Stinger ........................but this Telly .......................I think it looks better in darker colors ...............Moss Green and the Dark Gray are my faves so far .....................always IMHO
 
I'm going to be in the market for a new SUV soon. The Telluride and the Suburu Ascent are at the top of my list. Right now, the only reason the Ascent is ahead is because it's available in a very nice Red. As for the colors on the Telluride, The Moss Green is cool, but not for me. The White doesn't look good to me. I don't like silver/gray on any vehicle. I currently drive a black SUV and want a new color on my next SUV.

I've seen photos of the Telluride in Sangria Red, and that looks great. However, that color doesn't seem to actually be available. Hopefully KIA is monitoring this forum and the like. This seems to be a great vehicle. I look forward to eventually test-driving one along with the Ascent. It just needs better colors.
 
Sangria is available on most trim levels, just not on the SX according to KIA's website.
