The colour choices Nissan offers for the Note reflect its聽sensible character聽鈥� there isn鈥檛 anything particularly wild on offer among the seven shades available. But which suits the car best? We鈥檝e produced a handy guide to run you through what鈥檚 available and how much each聽costs.

Non-metallic colours

Traditionally car makers tend to offer one or two solid paint finishes priced lower than the alternative colours. Just because they鈥檙e the cheapest, doesn鈥檛 necessarily mean that they can鈥檛 look smart though!

For a more in-depth breakdown of the different types of colour finishes available, take a look at our paint types guide to understand the difference between solid, metallic and pearlescent paint.

Storm White 拢250

The Note鈥檚 colour range starts with a basic gloss white. The Note looks nice enough in an inoffensive sort-of way and, if you鈥檙e not concerned by trying to stand out, you will be happy enough with this finish. Anyone looking for a slightly glitzier-looking paint job might be keen to splash out a little more for some other choices, though.

Metallic colours

By simply stirring thousands of tiny metal flakes into a colour, a paint shade can be transformed into something which looks much more expensive and desirable. You just need to make sure you keep it clean to get the maximum effect!

Blade Silver 拢500

A standard shade of silver. It鈥檚 hard to fault on most cars, really, and because it is such a popular choice, it should make the Note very easy to sell on when the time comes. It won鈥檛 stay as clean as darker colours but won鈥檛 be as bad as white either.

Gun Metallic 拢500

Dark grey tends to work extremely well on premium German sports saloons but, on a small car, we can鈥檛 help but feel that a more lively shade might be better suited. As with Blade Silver though, it should hold its value in the used market fairly strongly and keeping it clean shouldn鈥檛 be too costly.

Pearl Black 拢500

There are very few cars that don鈥檛 look good in black 鈥撀爄t tends to do a good job of hiding any weird details, with an added bonus of masking any dirt and dust fairly well. Used buyers flock to black cars so you鈥檒l have no problems here.

Force Red 拢500

One of the two non-greyscale hues available for the Note, Force Red should at least help your mini MPV stand out in the car park slightly better than the other alternatives here. As with the rest of the metallic options, it costs 拢500 to tix this box on the options list.

Sonic Blue 拢500

This light metallic blue adds a little colour to the Note range without drawing too much attention to itself. As with silver and grey cars, blue is a colour which always sells strongly, so it will be a fairly solid choice in terms of resisting depreciation.

Pearlescent paint finishes

By replacing metal flakes in the paint with plastic 鈥楳ica鈥� pieces, a pearlescent paint gives off an almost iridescent finish in bright light. Up close, they certainly look special.

White Pearl 拢750

It鈥檚 hard for the image above to do a pearl paint finish justice, but in the metal White Pearl does look far more expensive than the regular Storm White at the top of the page. That鈥檚 partly because it is 鈥撀燼t 拢750, it costs 拢500 more than the solid white, and 拢250 more than the rest of the colour range. If you鈥檙e after a fashionable white for your Note, though, it鈥檚 more than worth the extra outlay.

Special packs

In addition to the seven colour options, Nissan also provides a couple of packs which aim to lift the Note with subtle detail changes. Combined with the right exterior finish, some of these can work really well!

Edge Pack (拢200)

If you鈥檇 like to add just a little extra flash of colour to your Note, then the Edge Pack might be worth a look. The lower edge of both the front bumper and the boot lid can be finished in contrasting shades, including orange, purple and carbon fibre-look, each costing 拢200 (apart from the chrome finish, which costs 拢215) We鈥檝e specced a White Pearl car with a red Edge Pack, for a sporty 鈥榤ini-Nismo鈥� look.

Black style pack 拢650

Want to add a little menace to the Note? The Black Style Pack might just dio the trick. Black door mirrors and alloy wheels set off the small shape, lending it a slightly more moody appearance. The image above combines the pack with Blade Silver.
