Frozen grey vs Isle of Man green

I’m considering these to colors. Is there a consensus on what looks better and hold value better? I know they’re totally different. I also am bad about washing the car regularly and worry about the upkeep of frozen colors.

Personal opinion - I can’t think of any colour interior that goes with green…..

Black does but the best I think is midrand. This one happens to have the black and midrand combination

It’s a personal thing….I really dislike any ‘brown’ interior unless it’s light/cream like Oyster or Ivory

I'm not crazy about that green, but I got over the frozen/matte paint fad faster than the blackout fad. Plus it's harder to take care of or repair. IMO a black interior would drab out that green. Brown as pictured above is way better.

Neither color in poll. But I'm not very adventurous in colors for cars.
Black on black baby. I own three of that color combo. Still not bored.

I've had a red car in the past and was glad to see it go. Red inside is the same....puke.
I had to get rid of the Roy Rogers silver trim on the steering wheel immediately....pardner

I would never own (like the look, but would not own) a "frozen" color. Green with a brown interior is great combo.

I'm not sure I could own a green car for an extended period of time.

In think you'd have an extremely challenging time selling a green car. It's a cool color but you'd have a small pool of buyers interested.

I decided to go with the frozen based on resale and not really thinking I’d be cool with a green car for that long. Plus I love the silverstone interior

Based on your initial statement it sounds like both could have issues. The green is a less mass appeal color so might be harder to sell where as the frozen requires a little more care with you not being a frequent washer.

Same exact color combo in the GC is getting ppf and tint for me as we speak.

I know some feel the frozen trend is fading but it looks so good on this car.

I also looked at the green and was like, “Wow that’s awesome.” Then I realized that would last 3 weeks.

Your car looks great.

In my opinion, the factory frozen paint does not look like frosted PPF, which tons of people do on their Teslas. It still has a sheen to it, which doesn’t make it look completely flat to me. It’s an amazing factory paint and I love it.

When I roll up next to a Tesla model X that has obvious frosted PPF our vehicles look nothing alike.

No. Not going to put any PPF on the car. I’m going on my 8th week of ownership and have put on 473 miles.
