So I'm at zero hour before lock date and I'm still not 100% set on Arctic grey. Can you guys tell me how much of the time do you look at the car and would describe it as more blue than grey? Thanks!

My summary would be grey in sunlight, blue-grey in artificial light. But you must be okay with both in order to enjoy this color. Would you be okay with either agate grey or graphite blue? If so, then Arctic grey is the best of both worlds (with some chalk thrown in for good measure).

to add to what @nanjaria said, it’s more grey than blue in all lighting. Light grey in the sun and a darker grey in artificial or dimmer light. The pictures you see that are more blue (from my experience) is an artificial enhancement from whatever camera took the photo and is much lesser blue in person.

I’ve attached what I believe is more accurate representation of the color in person in different lighting from pics I’ve taken. Hopefully others can chime in on accuracy

Mine just got out of the oven....

That's exactly my dilemma. Love the grey, the blue-grey not so much. And with what @mslam02 described and from his pics, I would be more than content.

Shogunade

Yup. Love the look of both representations of the color. Looks like I've decided. Thanks all!

I was in the same dilemma and decided to opt out. I love the grey, but I couldn't fall in love with the blue-grey. I found there are many photos of AG on Instagram that helped me decide.

Shogunade

Ughhh. Just curious what did you go with?

I was in the same boat and went with Chalk. There is no color hue attached to it and it's a nice light grey.

Chalk. I just couldn't be on the fence about something like this. Arctic Grey only gave me what I was looking for in some light and/or at certain angles and the other times it didn't. Was I comfortable with liking the color sometimes? I was not.

Anyone have a picture of an Arctic Grey car with red graphics on the side? Would like to see if these pop (like on the white, light greys, and silvers) or get crushed (like on the dark greys). -hyp

Plenty of pics of Arctic Grey w/ red graphics on the 992 GT3RS thread on RL.....and of course, it looks spectacular together.

So I see this car in this color almost daily and I'm thinking in my minds eye, it might be close to Arctic Grey. If you guys have seen the CRV in this color, how does it compare to Arctic grey? Also, it would be a tremendous help if you guys could point out a ubiquitous car that most resembles Arctic grey. Thanks! PS. This is hard!

I'm not sure why you want to see a different car to compare it to? That Honda is way more blue than any pic/video I've seen of AG. It definitely shows some violet/blue in certain lights, but not like that.
This is the best basic video walkaround I've seen that shows all angles in natural light. Don't overthink it! It's a great color!

Probably because the chances of seeing Arctic Grey on a GT4 or any Porsche model in real life are slim to none. I've only seen the little colour sample in the dealership and it's impossible to imagine it on a large scale.

FWIW, when I saw that walk around video a couple of months ago, it actually put me off the colour. I really like how Arctic Grey looks on JCR's photos on instagram, but I can tell they have been heavily processed. If the only way I could get an idea for the colour in real life was to see a very similar colour on another brand/model car, maybe that would have helped. In the end the photos varied way too much for me to take that risk
