Here are a few images of the Safari (M10-P in this case) paired with different lenses. Just to give a visual reference for anyone considering how these lenses look mounted on the camera:
Light Lens Lab 35/2 8-Element (Stainless Steel Special Edition)
Voigtlander 28mm f/2.8 Color-Skopar with 1mm filter
Here are a few more photos showing the M10-P paired with some of my other silver lenses and different hood combinations. (Would look the same on the M11-P Safari)
This time, I took the hood off the Voigtlander 50mm f3.5 APO-Lanthar "Olive edition" and mounted it on the Voigtlander 35mm f3.5 Color-Skopar. I also swapped the 1mm silver UV filter from the 35mm f/3.5 onto the 50mm f/3.5. I really like how this setup looks.
The last photo shows the MS Optics 50mm f/1 ISM alongside the Voigtlander 90mm f2 APO-Ultron, both in silver finish.

this olive green looks darker (and more attractive) than the olive green of the M11P.
It would look the same on the Leica M11-P Safari as well, so for anyone considering it, here's a photo showing the Leica M10-P Safari paired with the Brightin Star 28mm f/2.8 "Green" edition. I think it matches the Safari really well, aside from the lens having a glossier finish.
A while back they made either an M240 or M10 in a "military blue" color. It looked beautiful with silver lenses and was a very attractive camera. I'd love to see that in addition to the reporter green color. Alas, it was a true limited edition.
I'm looking to replace the leather on my M3 and was wondering if anyone makes a safari or olive green leather (instead of black) option for it. I did a search but did not find anything. Maybe someone here has already gone through this and found a good source. Let me know.

Have you checked out Arte di mano? It's worth reaching out to them if you don't see anything on their site: https://artedimano.com/191

Thanks for the suggestion.
Yes, the only one I thought might be a good green option for me is the "Shrunken-cal" Khaki green. It's a bit pricey at $200, and I'm not sure how it would look on the body since there are no sample photos available.

I contacted Arte Di Mano regarding a half case for my M11-P Safari and they told me that shrunken-calf khaki is very close to the safari color so that's what I ordered. I'll be able to post reference pics in a month or two whenever I get it.
Always interesting seeing Arte di mano recommended as if they are a luxury brand that is deserving of the price. My used Hassy came with one and I am thoroughly unimpressed for the MSRP they ask for them. I've had $50 half cases that felt better to me.
