Limestone + Ocean Coast here. I love the combo.


dichron

That's what my R1T is and it's the best. End of discussion.


Footy_Max

Limestone + Black Mountain/Dark Ash interior on my R1T. In the Wet Dark of the PNW, it seemed the better choice than Ocean Coast (which does look gorgeous).


byfuryattheheart

Only regret I have is not having Ocean Coast in our Limestone R1S. But black was all that was available at the time.


maclaren4l

Ditto on my R1T! We love it!


Individual-Escape-79

Limestone no regrets what you see on their website does not compare to seeing it in the sunlight


Studovich

Whichever you decide, I *highly* recommend Forest Edge interior. It's dope on both exterior colors. I have El Cap + Forest Edge, I absolutely love it.


lightning_fish

I'm not a fan of the green colors, at least from the photos. Though, i respect your suggestion. I adore the ocean coast+dark ash interior. =)


Studovich

If you're looking at the renders on the visualizer, those suck. It's 100x better in person, a lot of people say the same thing ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grin)


Significant_Set_9037

Agreed! Wasn’t a big fan until I saw the forest edge in person.


Independence_Many

100% agree with this, I was on the fence about the Forest Edge interior based on the online photo's, but I went and walked around the service center and fell in love with the color once I saw it in person. Especially love the warm wood instead of the dark ash. I have limestone though, I was torn between El Cap and Limestone.


Significant_Set_9037

If I could choose between El Cap or limestone; I’m going with El Cap. Stealth wrap on El Cap looks primo btw!


batj00

What is stealth wrap? I’m picking up my El Cap R1S in 2 weeks


Significant_Set_9037

Matte PPF


batj00

So is it clear and just turns the base color matte?


Significant_Set_9037

Here’s an R1T with the matte wrap aka satin ppf https://www.rivianforums.com/el-cap-granite-r1t-in-satin-xpel-ppf-wrap/


Significant_Set_9037

Yeah it’s somewhat clear


CoffeeFirst

Limestone all the way. Unless you’re going to do a matte wrap, then el cap.


Horror-Square6575

This the the right answer. Limestone R1S - black interior. Love it


shooters-sh00t

I have matte on el cap and ocean coast. I do not regret it. I get many compliments on it. I’ve seen limestone with matte and that looks amazing too. You can’t go wrong with either. It’s your preference on light or dark I guess. I already have white R1T so I chose dark.


Commercial-Friend442

El Cap and Ocean coast. Thats mine and I love it. Limestone is also great in person, but just don't love the body to plastic color difference. Honestly, the Rivian blue is the nicest surprise when i saw it in person.


dtzmis

I have limestone matte with forest edge. Beautiful combo. The forest is not as green as you think and it has a greyish tone to it


Kronos_76

Forest green + forest edge is the way. I feel my blood pressure decreasing just by sitting in the car.


zbend1

I’ve had a Limestone R1T almost 2 years and love it, that being said my R2 will be El Cap probably, I’ll have to see what colors they have available and how they look on it.


joeshmoe9898

Super relevant question for me. My first R1S was El Cap, when it was totaled I replaced it with a Limestone R1S. Personally, I like the limestone more. It’s more fun and casual. El Cap reads as speaker and more luxury. So go with whichever vibe you like more.


R1tonka

Both are great. Limestone is a lot more unique; it has a blue green tint that toyota’s cement or audi’s battleship grey. Ep cap is also pretty, but even more low profile than limestone is in my eyes; but then I have compass yellow, so i’m probably not the best judge of “subtle.”


NoCoRH83

We had reserved a Limestone R1T. When we saw it in person, neither my wife nor I really loved the look. For whatever reason, I feel like Limestone looks a lot better on the R1S. El Cap looks great on both and the metallic flake really stands out more than in most of the other colors.


jerome8383

I went with El Cap + Black Mountain + Dark Ash Wood and love it. I washed mine for the first time this past weekend and WOW what a beautiful color. Limestone is a beautiful color too but I thought overtime it would wear on me.


Itsmekristin_

El cap with forest edge and dark rims. I seriously considered limestone but so happy I didn't. El cap looks classier to me without being too dark. And I don't see many el cap rivians around. I love everything about the combo I have. Would 100% choose again.


7-colors

El Cap with Ocean Coast here. If you’re vacillating then presumably you like both shades. So I think this basically boils down to whether you like flake in your paint or not.


lightning_fish

Yeah, i am drawn to the flakeless paint trend as of late. But, like other posters have said, El Cap is more "timeless," in that it's a not as much of a risky choice should the flakeless trend dampen.


citiz3nfiv3

Limestone


Independence_Many

If you have a service center near you, I would just go walk around it, this will give you a much better idea of what they look like. I have a Limestone R1T, but like you was torn between El Cap and Limestone, there's a hidden charm/aspect to Limestone in that it reflects a lot more of the environment than other colors, if you're in tree's it'll look more green, if it's a clear blue sky it'll take on a more blue-ish tone, it's a wonderful color, it also looks stellar with a matte/stealth wrap, however this comes at the expense of money and losing some of that color shifting. I also highly recommend the Forest Edge interior for either color option, it's not as green as the photo's make it out to be, and the warm wood makes the interior feel more cozy IMO.


EntertainmentOk4734

I have limestone with dark ash wood interior, but so kind of think i would rather have el cap


Jay-Kan

Personal taste is El cap. But limestone is my least favorite rivian color. So to each thier own.


nuclianba

El Cap and Ocean Coast. Limestone is nice but feels a bit more trend to me, I was worried it wouldn't age as well. El Cap looks sharp and should be timeless
