FYI, the SGM color depicted leads one to assume it’s more gray, when in reality it’s more bluish-green.

This shouldn't be too hard to understand, but OP has narrowed it down to 3 choices and doesn't care if the choice is "none of the above."

I would like to thank everyone for providing the opinions.

Elkhart Lake Blue with Silver striping it is ; my wife agrees which is the most important part of the whole process.
I will be changing my order soon (had it in early this year with Shadow Gray and no striping).
Drive fast and take chances.

Not a stripe guy but the Elkhart Lake Blue with Silver is really nice.

Guess there will be a few of us with ELB and silver stripes. Here I thought I would be different.

Ordered Artic White 2021 but Elkhart Blue was my 2nd choice. It's definitely sweet looking ride.

The gray with vibrant Blue stripes? That's very fitting for this car if going with stripes. Subtle yet pops right out and would have me speeding up to check it it out. The rest are? Ordinary to me. Good luck!

AGREE - This is a very important point regarding this color. If it is completely dark out (nighttime) SGM can look like a black car that has a dust film on it. But, in the direct sunlight it looks like a very dark bluish. Blue is more pronounced than gray in direct light.

That SGM with blue stripes would really pop with a Tension/Twilight blue interior.
