Default meteor grey for 07'

Well I'm at my local library, my Dell is dead, the harddrive just up and quit - for the second time in a year, bought it last february and the harddrive failed last april!
Do NOT buy a dell!
so the kids are singing about the ducks "quack quack quack" - kill me now
but, onto meteor grey.
Wow, what a great looking colour! Saw it on a 928 coupe in full sun outside the library, and wow does it look fantastic. It has a very purplish tint to it, yes... but you don't really notice - it really deepens the colour of the grey....
Anyways for all you people who are worried, no it's no seal grey but it's an interesting colour, and I think it'll be pretty popular. Just reassuring you 07' guys that it will be a very pretty colour!

hmmm this reads a bit more as a general thread
I guess I just want to say, photos I have seen have not done this colour justice. The purple in person is not as noticeable as it is in photographs.

I didn't know that Dell computers suffered from RMS. Did you buy your Dell at a Ford dealership like Bob on the 996 Forum.... oh, never mind.

I have two Dells and both are great.

catastrophic failures within 2000 miles.
They went cheap on the harddrives.
I feel really dirty, as I'm on another computer in my home and it too, is a dell

I scanned this in for another thread,--can't recall if in Rennlist or Rennteam. But it referred to its reintroduction for the 07MY Turbos. IT was a 1986 color.

We have Meteor Bumper Plugs we did years ago for someone with a paint to sample in that color. It is stunning, and if you liked Seal, you should like Meteor. Let me know if you need to see it.

eric do you have any true, new photos of that car?
all the photos I've seen are old ones and the paint looks VERY purplish in the photos I've seen pf that 928 you posted... and in person it isn't very purplish at all

Haven't seen one in person in a while - but it is nice.... I'll look to see if I can find some pictures and color correct them and post (but then again we will be hoping my memory services me correctly)...

in mj's post, the true colour is somewhere between the 2 at the bottom, the whaletail and the carrera that's all purplish
