August 16, 2016 by Jack Leslie

The Volkswagen Up is one of the best city cars on sale at the moment. There are a wide range of colour options, so we鈥檝e put together a comprehensive list of the different shades available for the Up to help you choose the right one for your new car.
To understand the differences between solid, metallic and special paint finishes, check out our car paint types guide.
Solid finishes
Tornado Red 鈥 拢0
Cheerful red paint matches the Up鈥檚 cheeky looks and is one of the safer options for a small car. It comes standard on all Up models and will conceal dirt longer than lighter hues. Despite it being a bold shade, these typically suit smaller cars and it shouldn鈥檛 put off used buyers.
Candy White 鈥 拢270
White is a versatile colour and works well on most cars. The Up is no exception, but lighter colours are notoriously difficult to keep clean. Car wash visits will be more frequent but it鈥檒l be a popular option on the used market.
Teal Blue 鈥 拢270
This teal blue colour is a refreshingly bold option for the Up and suits the car鈥檚 fun looks. Available on Take Up, Move Up and High Up models, it鈥檒l show up dirt quicker than darker hues. As one of the more unusual shades to choose from, it may be harder to sell to used buyers than more conventional colours.
Pure White 鈥 拢270
Pure White is the lightest colour option for the Up and is available for all four models. This bright shade will be popular among used car buyers but it will require regular trips to the car wash to keep it spotless.
Metallic finishes
Costa Azul 鈥 拢515
The lightest blue option for the Up is available for Take Up, Move Up and High Up models. The hue will stand out from the crowd and it鈥檚 unlikely used buyers will be put off, though it will be trickier to keep clean compared to darker shades.
Honey Yellow 鈥 拢515
An Up in eye-catching Honey Yellow is perfect for more extroverted owners. Such a bright hue isn鈥檛 universally appealing, however, so selling a yellow car on the used market will take longer and you鈥檒l need to clean it more frequently than a darker colour.
Tungsten Silver 鈥 拢515
Silver is a popular colour and pretty low risk, with the Tungsten hue being the lightest of the two silvers available on the Up. It鈥檒l be a strong option for the used market but won鈥檛 do a great job of hiding grime.
White Silver 鈥 拢515
A slightly darker silver hue, this option will hold up well on the used car market and hide road grime slightly better than the Tungsten shade. However, you鈥檒l probably still need to make regular trips to the car wash to keep it in tip-top shape.

Habanero Orange 鈥 拢625
This metallic shade gives the Up added flair and pizzazz. You don鈥檛 see many orange cars on the roads and this hue will certainly make your Up stand out. Available for Take Up, Move Up and High Up trim levels, it鈥檒l be better at disguising grime and probably a little easier to sell than yellow.
Deep Black 鈥 拢515
Black is a safe colour choice for the Up, giving it a sophisticated and understated look. Available for all four trim levels, black cars will be easy to sell to the second hand market, but they don鈥檛 hide dirt well. It鈥檚 important to not cut costs with cheap car washes, which can leave swirl marks.
Extras
Contrasting roofs 鈥 拢230 to 拢745
Every colour for the Up apart from Habanero Orange comes with the option of having a contrasting colour for the roof and wing mirrors. These range from 拢230 to 拢745 in price, with white, grey and black being the three choices. This is only available for Move Up and High Up trim levels.
