Got our order in the queue for May delivery 2015 Anthem 44b and we must finalize the paint scheme selection this week.

I see several others now have 2015 orders and wonder what paint you chose and if you got more than the cut sheets to help you decide. We are leaning Dusk or Beachstone. Cheers.

Our 2015 Cornerstone will have Topaz as an exterior color and Midnight Pearl with the New Natural Cherry Woodwork

Should be considerably brighter inside than with the darker wood choices.

Were you able to see paint samples and/or a wood sample?

Midnight illusion is carried over which is what we are most likely going with but my wife wants to see paint chips

We were at the Tampa Show and saw the 2015 Cornerstone in Champagne and they had some charts with the exterior colors with them. Someone did have pdf file attachment in an earlier post showing the exterior colors, however, the ones we saw were sharper and brighter.

We also got a look at the 2015 Dealer book that had the samples of the interior materials. Much better than photos. There is actually 4 wood choices now. The Windsor Cherry and Tuscan Cherry are hold overs from 2014. They have added The Natural Glazed Cherry and a Carmel Glazed Maple. The Maple is extremely light, a little too light for my taste, especially with the Midnight Pearl Upholstery.

The Mocha and Midnight Pearl are the same as last year. Stanford replaces the Manhattan; still dark with darker carpeting than 2014.
I like the lighter quartz countertops as opposed to the very dark brown granite from 2014. We think it is a big improvement in choices from last year.

One note: The 2015 Dealer book was NOT available for the show. We just recently got to see it.

Here is the sheets on the 2015 Exterior colors

The best advice I have received from this forum is to see the paint schemes before making a final decision. Definitely DO NOT rely on artist renderings from Entegra's website, which terribly misrepresent reality. Photos are better, but even so nothing can compare with actually seeing the paint live and in person. The magnitude of investment made it worthwhile for us to make a trip to the factory last year, and it was a good thing we did. We changed from White Diamond Pearl to Tuscan Sun, and couldn't be happier with our choice. I realize that the new color schemes may not be immediately available for first hand viewing, but I think we can rely on Entegra that it would be tasteful. In any event, if possible I strongly suggest there is no substitute for seeing the options in person.

I agree in general with you but, it is a little hard when you are probably the first one out of the paint booth! I am pretty confident with our decision.

We fall in the same category being one of the first 2015 Anthems out of the booth. I am trying to get paint chips right now!

We ordered our 2015 Anthem for May delivery. The regional rep told me that paint chips are not available.

We are going to the factory in March and hope we can see paint at that time.
We ordered Goldmist, but thinking of changing to Splendor.

Did they give you a start of production date and a deadline for changing your color?

We placed our order with our dealer last October and they have us in for Midnight Illusion (the default) and we're trying to decide between Dusk and Beachstone.

I should know tomorrow if we are getting paint chips.

No, haven't got a start date yet. Sometime 1st week of April.

The regional Entegra rep said any color changes should be decided by start of the build.

The wife didn't like Beachstone, too light. Dusk & Lapis was too much black on top. I don't think I'll like Goldmist if the base is too Maroon. We both liked Radiant Copper, however not available for 2015.

I did a search online for paint chips matching the code on the rendering sheet and found the following for the Dusk. The chips rendering make it look much better and thus piqued our interest in that direction. Need confirmation from Entegra to be sure.

You may be able to find yours too!

Good luck
