Solid paints

Passion Red 鈥 (拢0)
Red certainly makes a car stand out from the crowd, but it isn鈥檛 as easy to sell on the used car market as more subtle colours. Nevertheless, it won鈥檛 need as much cleaning as white or silver and looks striking on the V40.

Ice White 鈥 (拢0)
Ice White聽is more neutral and simple, for those who want a quietly classy colour for their V40 hatchback. It鈥檒l do well with used car buyers but white cars are notoriously tricky to keep clean, so there鈥檒l be regular trips to the car wash.

Amazon Blue 鈥 (拢0)
Amazon Blue is a subtle and understated option for the V40. It鈥檚 not as loud as other shades but will hide dirt well and should be easier to sell to聽the second hand market compared to brighter colours.

Black Stone 鈥 (拢275)
This is the only solid paint colour option that you have to pay more for but Black Stone is a classy choice for the V40. It鈥檚 a colour that never gets old and will be easy to sell when the time comes, while it鈥檚 also easier to maintain than a metallic black.
Metallic paints

Bright Silver 鈥 (拢550)
Bright Silver is a smart and sophisticated option for the V40 and is one of the most understated and subtle metallic paints on offer. It鈥檚 perfect for those who just want their car to blend into the background but silver can be聽tricky to keep clean. At least it鈥檒l be easy to sell on the used car market鈥

Flamenco Red 鈥 (拢550)
As the name suggests, Flamenco Red is a bright and eye-catching colour that adds a touch of flair to the V40鈥檚 smart exterior design. It should hide dirt fairly well and, with red being one of the more common shades on the market, it should be fairly easy to sell on.

Raw Copper 鈥 (拢550)
Raw Copper is an unusual colour in the automotive market聽and stands out as a result. It looks good on the V40 and will hide dirt well, but it may be harder to shift on the used car market than a more conventional colour.

Osmium Grey 鈥 (拢550)
This deeper grey metallic option should hide dirt better and not require as frequent washes as lighter shades. It鈥檚 a desirable聽colour so will聽be in high demand on the second hand car market as well.

Onyx Black 鈥 (拢550)
This is the only metallic black on offer and one of only two darker shades. It鈥檚 a classy and timeless colour for the V40 and will be in high demand with second hand buyers. Dirt shows up quickly on black cars, however, and cheap car washes can leave swirls, so avoid cutting corners here.

Luminous Sand 鈥 (拢550)
Luminous Sand is a colour that fits in somewhere between bronze and silver on the spectrum. It鈥檚 one of the more unusual shades on offer with the V40聽so might be harder to sell on but it will make your hatchback more unique. Dirt will show up quite quickly though.

Denim Blue 鈥 (拢550)
Denim Blue is a deep and rich colour聽that suits the V40鈥檚 sharp lines and subtle curves. It should hide dirt fairly well and will be in high demand on the second hand market making resale easy.

Mussel Blue 鈥 (拢550)
This colour brings a splash of subtle colour to the V40. It won鈥檛 hide dirt as well as darker聽shades but should be fairly easy to sell to聽the used car market.
Premium metallic paints

Electric Silver Premium Metallic 鈥 (拢825)
This is one of Volvo鈥檚聽premium metallic options. It鈥檚 more expensive but has a richer quality than the regular metallic shades. Electric Silver is a conservative and simple shade, which should be popular with used car buyers,聽although it won鈥檛 hide dirt as well as darker colours.

Crystal White Premium Metallic 鈥 (拢825)
Crystal White has more depth in direct sunshine than conventional white shades. Dirt will show up very quickly but it鈥檚 a price you pay for such a sophisticated option. It will do decently on the second hand market, however.

Bursting Blue Premium Metallic 鈥 (拢825)
Bursting Blue is available for R-Design and R-Design Pro models of the V40. It鈥檚 a deep blue shade that聽makes the car stand out from the crowd and suits the car鈥檚 curves. It鈥檒l hide dirt fairly well so trips to the car wash shouldn鈥檛 be too frequent and it鈥檒l be easy聽to sell on when the time comes.
