Default Carbon Grey

I have been searching for a Panamera and the leading candidate is Carbon Grey, but is located in another city.

Since I am unfamiliar with this color I have looked at other ads and the forum archive to try and evaluate this shade.

One comment I read described the color as having some brown in it and then said, "think Macadamia" which is certainly a shade of brown, to my eyes.

I think it is somewhere between Agate and Volcano. Would anyone care to offer their opinion?

I have carbon metallic Grey. It reminds me of Atlas Grey in that it can look very different depending on the light.

In low light, evening etc., it looks very grey.

In bright light it looks like grey with some sand mentality sprinkled in.

I like it with my tan leather interior.

Ok, that's great feedback.

I had been wondering why the many examples I have viewed online give different impressions of the color. It sounds like it is one of those shades with different personalities and my impression is not solely due to photographic quirks.

Go by a dealer and look at the color samples under different lighting conditions, inside and out.

I've got carbon gray also. One of my co-workers saw it in the parking garage under the lights and asked me "is that brown panamera yours?" It definitely can take on a brown look under certain lights, but in sunlight it is gray.
