New colors

I would be curious to know what is the general feeling about the new exterior colors on Rockwoods ?
I am talking about the new creamy kind of margarine color and pale brown.
Compare to the previous beige/brown of the Emerald and Diamond Editions.

I personally don't like it, I prefer the older darker color.
I was told by my dealer that it was due to people complaining about heat in the darker colors.

I am on year 3 of a Signature Diamond Edition, and I don't feel it much hotter than my older white trailer.
I think the dark tinted windows and awning toppers really do the trick for me.

We had a TT with the darker colors and now have a new 5er with the lighter colors . Either color is ok for us . I think that the lighter one will show the road dirt more but all that mines is more soap and water .

Does anyone know where we can see the new colors? We just ordered one and was told we had to pick the new interior colors.

So, what do you think of the new 2016 exterior colors then ?

They have (Fancy Names) for the Colors! Our unit is White with Decals with a Mixture of Browns/Greens/Blues to make a Mountain Scene! The (Skirting/Wheel Fenders) are a ??Brown color! The Next year F/R came out with (Skirting/Wheel Fenders) that was (Baby S--- Green) Very hard to find a Paint Match! Youroo!!

When I ordered our 2015 26RLWS I wanted the white color but I wanted the options that came with the brown. Now that I have it I like it. The older ones were a darker brown.
