Mine (preFL) capuccino beige:

In a sunny weather it looks brownish/beige, in cloudy almost dark grey. Wouldn't change it ever, looks clean even when it's horribly dirty.

I think it suits the car quite nice.

Here's a couple of photos of my Storm Blue Elegance:

Apologies for the cleanliness of the car and the photo quality, I shot them with my iPhone this morning.

I dream of having a car that clean!

I have a new face-lifted storm blue metallic octavia SE. I think its a great colour (not that that helps you ). It looks best in the sun, but that's kinda true for most colours. The aqua for me was to light but the storm blue isn't to dark, almost a bit 'electric', esp. in the sun. Guess the metallic helps.

I always find a good way to see examples of the different colours is to look at the used car section on the official website. Lots of examples on there (and lots of them shot in different lights too).

Personally Aqua Blue would be my choice if speccing a new one (assuming it wasn't a vRS- then it would be race blue obviously )

Surprised at the number of Capuccino owners on here- I thought only pensioners chose metallic beige :p

I'll tell my wife that as she chose the colour

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the pics of your storm blue car. Looks clean to me. Certainkly cleaner than mine at the moment.

Here is a youtube video with Octavia2 in brunello rosso :

I went for anthracite grey. Happy I did in the end as it looks great in the flesh. Avoided silver and white as that seems to be the taxi colour of choice!!
