I don't trust screen representations, so I can only say on mine it looks black, as is my Stingray. However, I'd think if you'd google the year and ask for all Stingray colors you'd find out. Good luck. Or, just check the color code on the door or in the back, depending on year.

Get the color code from the RPO sticker and post the code here. Someone will be able to answer your question.

If it's a 2019 then it looks just like my Shadow Grey. If it's an earlier year...they have I believe a total of 3 other grey's from 14-18.

Looks like Watkins Glen Gray to me, but the RPO code will tell for sure.
There were two dark gray colors for Model Year 2019.
