Here is Shadow Gray in the parking garage. It is much darker than Spiral Gray.

hi djnice... thanks for posting pics, but i dont actually see any?? am i missing something?

btw, i went to look at a shadow gray this weekend. I really like it, but unfortunately while it was supposed to be a sunny day it turned out to be overcast, so I feel like I didnt get the full effect of this color.

I saw this color personally for the first time about 3 weeks ago. Seeing is definitely believing, and you can really see the effects of the new paint shop at work. For those who are only limited to viewing pics, Shadow Gray can be best described as a combination of 75% Cyber Gray and 25% Nightrace Blue Metallic.

An easy way to remember: Grey with an E (for England) is British, Gray with an A (for America) is American spelling.

I'd have to say it looks more gray when its cloudy/overcast and looks very blue when out in the sun....compared to WGG I like the SGM a lot more.....
1st pic cloudy day...2nd pic sunny drive home and my mirror looks blue....

It depends on the angle of light or something. The mirrors look blue from inside the car, but not as much when outside.

Looks very close to the 16 Camero Velvet Blue (would also be interesting to see it next to Night Race Blue).

This is the color I narrowed it down to if I put my order in beginning of next year. Everytime you look at a picture of this color depending on the light and shade it looks different. Awesome color.

That's not gray. In any way and in direct sun light is straight up insane blue.


Different paint code as well.



That's the same paint code as blue velvet camaro.

Saw one on display at the International Auto Show in Seattle a couple weekends ago. It definitely has a bluish undertone. I loved it!
