Nuanced Matte Colors Evoking Southern France



The Kangoo, popular across a wide range of ages for its spacious interior, practical utility, and the cheerful styling of its tall cargo design, has a new special edition. Named "Couleur," French for color, this special edition arrives this year, following its debut two years ago and last year.

This year's color theme is "French Retro." Three colors, inspired by the body colors of Renault cars that were active in the 1960s and evoking Southern France, have been revived for the modern era.

"Beige Camargue" is a body color used on the Renault "Quatre." It's an elegant beige, said to be inspired by the beautiful sandy beaches of the Camargue region in Southern France, where Van Gogh was captivated by the contrast of light and painted many works. "Bleu Express" was a body color for the Renault "Express," evoking the brilliant blue of the Mediterranean Sea. "Vert Pastel," adopted for the Renault "Quatre CV," is said to recreate the green of olive leaves that adorn the Provence region.

Furthermore, the bumpers and door mirrors, which are body-colored in the current model, are rendered in black. This creates a plain yet chic appearance.
