Interior Color Differences

My '05 has a "Steel Gray" interior. The '10 I've ordered will have a "Titanium" interior. Are these two colors different only in subtle shades?

The Steel Gray has kind of a blue tint to the gray, and the titanium has more of a cream color tint to it, in my opinion. You would definately see the difference if you tried to mix parts.

The two colors are significantly different from each other.

Not sure what the 2005 interior looks like, however here is good photo of my 3LT interior in my Torch Red GS.

Regards,

I've had both. My '05 had the Steel Grey, my '08 has the Titanium. The Steel Grey is bluish grey, the Titanium can be (and has been) mistaken for Cashmere, it has a tan tint to it.

Geez, maybe I should have ordered Ebony. Oh well, too late now.

No worries. The mistake happens much more frequently in photos than in person. The titanium looks great IMO (this opinion coming from a guy who doesn't care for cashmere); you're going to be very happy with it.
