I would probably have almond with almond. To be honest I'm not a great fan of almond in the first place, so I have never considered it. What spec are you thinking of?

2011 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Galway Green

Almond rocks! For darker exteriors anyway. Really gives the car a light and airy feel, executive like. Although does show the dirt quite a bit. I clean my driver seat every 3 to 4 weeks.

I have the black rubber mats with my almond leather and looks alright. If I went carpet not sure which way I would go tho. FL2 2011 SD4 XS in Galway Green

What colour will you have outside? Mauritius blue looks brilliant. Cool

I like black leather but next time I might go for ivory interior.

EDIT: just saw about the colours, and unfortunately Lago grey has been discontinued. Sad

I've never even heard of Largo grey. LAGO grey was discontinued in early 2011 because of the Japanese tsunami I believe. The only grey currently available is called Orkney grey. Thumbs Up

No problem. Smile

All MY13 models come with day running lights, but the Dynamic and HSE get signature lights as standard. Otherwise it's a 」450 option. (I think!)

United Kingdom 2010 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Auto Santorini Black

Almond leather????

Disgusting, or well that's what I thought when the salesmen phoned to tell me that was what he had found for us. That was until I actually saw it in the flesh - totally blown away!!!

Contrasts so well with Santorini black. I would never have dreamed of spec'ing a car with Almond interior until I got my Freely. Got the matching carpet mats thrown in as well with the deal although probably actually paid for them somewhere in the deal.

As Yanwoo pointed out, gives the car an air of executive style. And being a light colour, kind of makes the interior feel even bigger than it really is.

Lesson learned - never judge a book by its cover (Or an FL2 by its Almond interior!!!!! Rolling Eyes ). MY2010 TD4 HSE Santorini Black, 19" Alloys, Almond Leather, Lux Pack, Rear Spoiler, Adaptive Xenons

United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Lux Auto Baltic Blue

Almond works with Black (amongst other darker colours). Ideally, I wanted Ivory, until I realised that the carpets and door cards were then black, which darkened the interior too much for my liking. Almond/Nutmeg for the darker colours for sure. My replacement I intend to be Baltic Blue or Aintree Green...neither suit Black leather, but the question will be, is it Ivory Windsor or Almond....decisions decisions! For now, and with Sumatra Black, Almond/Nutmeg is the perfect combination, mainly for reasons mentioned above. Black would simply make it like a hearse! Foraging near Gaydon....

Be quick, Orkney is on the way out if it hasn't gone already, Corris Grey and Causeway Grey are coming in, Causeway Grey is nice, bit darker than Stornoway, closer to Lago Grey. p****d off with a Digital Keyboard Warrior
