Darn if that doesn't look like 'Midnight Blue'... which I love. I'd go with that color and a tan interior.

Happy with my WGGM, Shadow Gray does not look gray to me.

Here are some pics of a Shadow Gray 2LZ that I just unwrapped off of the transport. No editing on these pics. It's a fantastic color. I like it more than WGG.

Any one else with a shadow grey willing to post some pics?? I almost pulled the trigger on an admiral blue GS but now I’m not so sure. Haven’t been able to see the shadow gray in person yet, hoping my local dealer gets one in soon!

Is the color used on any other GM vehicle under a different name. I know my shark gray z51 is called fusion gray on the broadcast sheet.

We saw the Shadow Gray painted panels at The Bash last April and decided to wait until SG was available to order. We ordered our GS convertible with a gray top also. Probably about one more month for us also.

I like it. Does have a fair amount of blue in it.

Any other users out there that can post other pics of this color? I’m looking to get a new GS and on the fence between this and torch red. I have yet to see shadow gray in person, but hoping to this weekend.

I know now I like red, but part of me thinks it is a little too “loud / look at me”, and I do like grays in general, so hoping this will look as good in person as it does in the pics!

This color changes a lot based on lighting. I will try to post some photos.

Here is one the first wash. On the road trip home.

I would really like to see a Shadow Gray car parked next to the old 2003, 2004 C5 Spiral Gray. Here's a pic of my former C5 just after I bought it in 2012. One thing I noticed when this was parked next to a Cyber Gray car was the noticable blue hue in the Spiral Gray. Always liked this color.
