That said, that's where Arctic Grey would be a perfect choice. I'm sorry guys, but Agate is just too dull for me personally. It is a great looking color but personally I'm not too keen on the idea of blending in THAT much with the sea of drab minivans and Honda Pilots out there. Arctic Grey is a great blend of exciting and serious. And while yes you do see similar colors on "normie" cars (I see Honda's Sonic Grey Pearl EVERYWHERE), it is at least different enough to invoke just a bit more emotional response when I look at it. For me, anyway.
Amazon delivery vans. Once you see it you’ll never see Arctic Grey the same again…

AG is the acronym for both colors we're talking about here... but I sort of see some Agate in the Amazon delivery van.

I guess your point is taken. Those things are virtually invisible to me... I never noticed.

Haha true. I’m talking about Arctic Grey, Amazon painted their vans a very similar color.

No wonder I love the color so much. I must have associated the color with some dopamine release with Amazon package deliveries.

Nah, hard disagree. These colors are nothing alike. It's like saying Mahogany and Guards Red are similar.

I was joking. You can find the same colors everywhere on any brand . But it's pretty close if see them side by side.

I don’t think I could handle the colour shape shifting that much ^

I like both colours though.

@uncle dude I totally get that. It is a strange situation. I love the grey, I like the blue. So it works well for me. It is a bit like having two girlfriends but only having to buy one gift on Valentine's day. Some perks there :

@ShawnM981 No sir, is black. I got tons of extra leather and stitching everywhere. I was going for a stealthy luxury sort of look.
