This might help anyone still deciding between which color to get for their Rivian. Here's how LA Silver, Limestone and Launch Green look next to each other in the sun.

I wish I had gone with an LE and not max pack. The LG is awesome.
I need to see limestone in person. I worry it isn’t “enough” to be worth the premium and maybe saving $1500 and going with LA Silver is the smarter move.

Just proves to me LG is the only one of these colors that I would want, but seeing as it is not available to me I will continue to debate on Rivian Blue, Red Canyon, and Forest Green. "Luckily" I have over a year to figure that out.
I'm still torn. I've switched back and forth from Launch Green to Glacier white about a dozen times. Currently, I'm Glacier White.

I've seen the glacier white, and it's nice - I don't know what it is, but it doesn't come off as a typical contractor truck/cheapest color white. Maybe that's just because it was new and shiny, but I usually hate white and I didn't hate the white Rivian.
I've also seen the launch green, and my impression was that it wasn't as "military" as I expected. Again, that's probably because it was so new and shiny (you don't see a lot of shiny military green ...), and again I'm sure it will look different when covered with dust and mud. But personally I've had to live with too many shades of olive drab or olive green over the years, so because I get to choose this time, the launch green is my last choice.

My issue is that I need a light color vehicle. I had 3 black vehicles in a row. 2015 F350 6.7, 2017 Ford Raptor, 2006 SL55 AMG. I'm so sick of dealing with dark colors and the washing regimen that follows with having to dodge sunlight whenever I wanted to wash them. The problem with Launch Green, is that in the shade it shows swirl marks and the color turns dark with all the problems of dark color paint. In the sunlight, it looks light color and is gorgeous !! But, I just cringe when I see it an angle in the shade. I really like the LA Silver too, but I think ill regret not getting the white. Like I said, I have switched back from LG to GW a dozen times, plus Limestone a couple times. I've been to many events and seen many R1T's in the wild, but unfortunately I have not seen the LG in person. I only saw a swatch at the Venice Hub of all the colors and that just doesn't represent. I'd really love the seen the Launch Green and Limestone in person. Although doubtful I'll drop the extra $$ for the Limestone at this point and GW will probably be easier for resale.

I agree black is way too much work, especially if you're going to take it off road and have to deal with pinstriping. My beige 4Runner goes off road all the time and looks great unless you're close enough to see the scratches everywhere (including the roof). The one black car I ever had, on the other hand, looks scratched up after a trip to the mall.

When I get the chance to pick my color, it'll be launch green ... as long as it's still an option! 😬
