More Details Of The Colour Revision

Citroen used to offer the Zesty Orange paint for the roof as well in a few dual-tone shades. The new Cosmo Blue shade has now replaced the orange hue even on the dual-tone options, which are as follows:

• Steel Grey with Cosmo Blue

The new Cosmo Blue shade can also be had in a dual-tone colour option with the Polar White roof.

While this has been replaced by the Cosmo Blue shade when opted for on the dual-tone variants, the single-tone paint shade’s Vibe pack still features the orange highlights only.
