Nissan unveils 10 new colours for the electric Ariya

Nissan has unveiled a rich palette of 10 exterior colours for the all-electric Ariya, inspired by its powerful spirit of innovation and the thrill of the future.

With four monotone and six two-tone options, Nissan says the paint portfolio was crafted to elevate the Ariya’s premium look and feel.

Nissan say these hues are applied by a highly advanced, environmentally sustainable paint production technology that reduces carbon dioxide output by 25 per cent – substantially reducing the environmental impact of this zero-emissions vehicle.

Two colours – ‘Akatsuki Copper’ and ‘Aurora Green’ – were developed especially for the all-electric coupé crossover.

The latter takes its name from the ‘Northern Lights’ phenomenon, aurora borealis, commonly seen in the arctic.

Akatsuki Copper is inspired by the Japanese phrase for ‘dawn’, Nissan explains.

The Ariya introduces a new level depth to customer-favourite colours, created with state-of-the-art paint production techniques.

At the heart of Pearl Black is an all-new pigment, developed to elevate the depth of the paint and to create a rich, captivating appearance.

Highly advanced production techniques were employed to achieve a complex, clean and crisp composition with Pearl White, which Nissan says offers more brilliance and clarity than ever before. The two-tone appearance is complete with a contrasting rich black roof, using the all-new pigment to achieve an unprecedented level of depth.

Lesley Busby, colour manager at Nissan Design Europe says: “We know that black and white colours are some of the most popular options with vehicle owners in Europe and around the world. With Ariya, we have introduced a new level of richness and a premium veneer for these customer favourites.

“Combined with the quality and attention to detail seen throughout the colour palette, we’re excited for customers to experience Nissan’s new era of colour design for themselves.”
