I guess you get asked questions about colours all the time but I need to ask this. I've had a Metallic bronze for nearly three years now and I'm getting a new one in October. I wanted to have a look at the Chestnut bronze so went to several dealers, none of which had one in. I understand its not a popular colour but I love brown cars. The dealers I visited told me that the new brown one was exactly the same colour as the old one, (the one I have), but it looks lighter to me. Can any one help please. thanks

What's your colour code?

The brochures pre-2017 show Bronze - CAP

The brochures post-2017 show Chestnut Bronze - CAN

It's also now a "Premium Metallic" along with Vivid Blue

Its CAN Gloucester. And thank you so much the pics are really helpful. I can see from them that it is definitely a different bronze to the one I already have despite what the dealer said. I love it and its helped me to make my mind up so thanks. xxx

I do love the vivid blue and was really torn but it seems to be very common now and I like to have something a little bit different. I know brown cars are unusual and it doesn't suit every car but I think Qashqai have got it right.
