Does the Ascot Green look better in different lighting, or with a better wax?

Though rare, I've seen the beige interior available in all 3 models w/Ascot green, also w/micro blue. The red interior seems to show up mostly in the ceramic silver & white. Otherwise it's black, black and black!

Yep! Ended up getting the white pearl GT2 with beige interior.

White w/beige... nice! I haven't seen that combo around...

I didn't see it much either! There were only two white/beige vehicles anywhere in the western states (based on my own research) and a dealer 90 minutes away happened to have two. One had a rattle near the sunroof, and the other was perfect....I chose the better one (and it had puddle lights, too, which are kind of cool)

Might that just be in Australia or New Zealand? I believe Kia.com shows only black interiors in the GT1. I didn't look at the Scorpion or the GT2. Don

GT1's, green & blue w/beige interiors on lots in the Seattle area.

I love green cars but, oddly enough, have never had one. IMHO, green with a tan interior is the best combo on damn near everything. That being said, I was really disappointed by the Stinger Ascot Green. As other have said, it just doesn't pop. Something more of a a metallic forest green is what I was really hoping for.

I bought a Green & Tan recently. While I agree the Ascot Green doesn't pop, it is quite classy and I get compliments on it regularly.

Pops for me, lighting definitely plays with this color

Looks great! As has been mentioned... it's all about the light! Personally, I think a car that looks different is a plus. Lots of the metallic colors do the same to some extent.

BTW, what are those wheels?

White is right

I agree. I love white cars. Our Panamera is white with beige interior. One of the reasons I went with a green Stinger was because the beige interior only comes with white, blue, or green paint and I felt like I should go for some variety.

edit: I would have gone with ceramic silver if it came with beige interior. That color is stunning.

I'm surprised no one has brought up the fact that women are much more color sensitive than men. The color may not "pop" for men just due to our cones/brain interpretation.

If you have anything other than red, well done, good choice and thank you. ... becasue it make my red one look even more mint.

Fantastic color and love the wheels!! That combo looks stunning! Curious how you like the LED headlights on your GT1? I believe they are reflector LED as opposed to projector LED. Do they light the road up ahead well? Are the reverse/backup lights LED? Appreciate the feedback.

Thank you! Yes, they are the reflector LED on the GT1. I have no issues with how they light up the road. To be honest I think they do a better job than the projector LEDs I had with my 2018 GT. Backup lights are not LED from the factory, still, but I just swapped them out.

I have a GT1 as well. The LED lights are at least as good as the HID lights that I had on my previous GTI. The back up lights are plenty bright as well. i can easily see everything behind me and enough to the sides to back into my driveway.
