Defender has introduced six new exterior colours under its Atlas range, combining heritage shades with new finishes inspired by landscapes across the world. The colours will be available across multiple Defender models and specifications, including the new Defender Vertex, offering customers more personalisation options.
The new range includes four heritage-inspired shades and two newly developed colours.
Six New Colours
The Atlas collection includes:
- Mara Red: A refreshed version of the heritage Masai Red, inspired by the Maasai lands of southwest Kenya.
- Pantelleria Blue: A modern take on the classic Pageant Blue, drawing inspiration from the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria.
- Galway Green: A returning heritage shade inspired by the landscapes of County Galway, Ireland.
- Buckingham Blue: A previous Defender colour that was offered between 2006 and 2013.
- Aira Green: A new shade inspired by the moss-covered surroundings of Aira Force Waterfall in the UK’s Lake District.
- Jenolan Gold: A new colour inspired by the golden limestone formations of Australia’s Jenolan Caves.
New Paint Tech
The Atlas colours are the first to be developed using Defender’s new Universal Paint Line facility in Nitra, Slovakia. The facility uses automated seven-axis robots to ensure consistent paint coverage and finish.
Defender says the new painting process is designed to improve durability. The colours are tested to withstand four times the industry-standard grit blasting, while painted panels are also submerged in water for 72 hours during testing.

Final Take
The Atlas collection adds more personality to the Defender range by bringing back familiar colours alongside new shades. The expanded choice also gives buyers more ways to personalise their vehicles.
