I plan to get a Z51 in Shark Gray Metallic with gray interiors, carbon flash hood stinger and red calipers. No red stripes; just too much accent color. Whaddayathink?
I've got a convertible coming with the gray interior and gray top. Now seeing how much "brown" is in the Shark Gray, I'm not sure if a gray interior and/or top is going to work. I'll post pictures as soon as I get it so you can make up your mind for sure.
I like the shark gray, but it does seem to have a fair amount of brown in it, at least to my eyes. I don't think you could go wrong with any of the three.
The brownish tinge is also my concern. Ended up ordering the silver.

The Conv. above has AR int. and a gray top and looks great.
Thanks for mentioning that. Yeah, I'd like to see it with the red calipers (But please don't say the word "brown" - ugh). I'm going to do a Museum delivery, so I just plan to order it exactly the way I want it!
When and If my car ever makes it home I will post a bunch of pictures.
Mine has AR int and Red Cal and when I was in BG this past weekend and when the sun hits the car it is Great. Makes the CF trim realy work much better than on Dark Gray. The styling of the car works. my .02
I see a bit of brown in the photos (haven't seen it in person). but that doesn't really bother me. my 03 Z4 was a bit brown as well.
I've seen in person and when you take out the Kal. int the brown is gone. Not sure why they picked the kal. with this color to show. worked with CG but Sg needs AR, lt Gray or Black to make the contrast work.
Call it brown, call it pewter, call it whatever you want but there is definitely a warm tint that comes through in the sun but not inside or under cloud cover.
We've had a few forum members see the color in person over the last 2 days and they all commented on it.
Thanks for posting. The TSG is not as boring as the CG was. But, still reeks of Honda Gray. The BladeSilver really shows great next to the other two colors.
Honda calls their "Gray w/ brown" Smokey Topaz.
I wish they kept CG but since they didn't I ordered my 15' in TR.
Thanks for doing this....great comparison. I really like the SG but still glad I pulled the trigger this spring and purchased a CG and enjoyed all Summer! If I got a shark grey now I would have to change the license plate and that would be way too much trouble.

Well said. Silver is a is a timeless good color. TSG and CG do nothing for me but there is obviously a large group who love those colors. Something for everyone.

I agree. I see brown in it as well. I like this color on sharks, not the Corvette. To me this color is neither sporty or classy.
