Default Light Gray Interior???

A Coughlin post shows a Laguna Blue exterior with what looks like a light gray interior. Is this interior color available to order? I don't believe this color is listed anywhere. It looks great with the LB exterior!

I saw a same/similar car at BG. See my thread on LB/JSB comparison. I am pretty sure after talking to Harlan Charles that it IS the grey interior that is already on the order chart. The GM online pictures show it to be a dark grey but it is a lot lighter in person.

Thanks RxCritical.........

I guess the red is the sme way as the actual red is a lot brighter than the original color charts show it to be.

Correct. The color is officially called a medium gray, but it is a light gray, as shown in the picture below. More important than my seeing it in person, and my telling you that the picture below is totally-color-accurate, is that this light gray, on this very car, was verified by Harlan on a second occasion as being the gray interior you can order for the C7.

I have a feeling tho that it's called a medium gray to differentiate it from the C6's light gray called titanium. The medium gray is a bit darker than the titanium from what I can see.

One thing to catch here, the gray interior also has a fairly light gray carpet. I had one of those once and it was a pain to maintain.

I would agree. I have the titanium in my 2012, and it is light gray. The pictures I have seen of the new gray look medium to dark.

The laguna blue and gray interior looks nearly identical to my old 1993 Quasar blue with gray interior.

The gray was a total PITA to keep clean. I would NOT recommend it. It looked ragged the hell out in no time and I was **** in maintaining the car.

I wish I had black interior back then. Another interior that wore far better was torch red. I think My dad is getting Laguna with Red interior.

From the NCM Bash event. The laguna blue with grey. It was much, much lighter then I expected.

I believe the gray is the gray in the order guide. Like a lot of the interior colors, it looks dark or light depending on lighting and camera setup when the picture was taken. I like gray and LG with dark or light gray. Keeping it clean, especially the carpet might be an issue.

My thoughts exactly

Light color carpeting is for bedrooms

Would the 1LT also have grey carpeting? I was thinking only the seats are grey in the 1LT.
