Default What gray is this 918? PTS?

Curious to know what Gray is this 918? Is it one of those $60K color options, or standard Porsche PTS color?

Here are some screenshots, but the video is better to see the real color...

Liquid metal silver, a $63,000 option.

Wow if that is a $63k liquid metal option that is one of the most overpriced PTS choices in the history of Porsche.

You could put an Agate 918 right next to it and you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference. And that's free.

Really? I've seen many Agate Grays and I never liked the color, Meter Gray to me was a nicer shade.

Not saying whether Agate is good or not, though I like it, just saying that cars looks just like Agate. Here's a pic of an Agate cab in similar showroom lighting. I couldn't tell the difference. The 918 looks deeper, which I assume is what the liquid metal gives you. But the color looks identical to me.

I thought the liquid metal silver color on the 918 was a lot lighter than the OP's pictures/post but I could be wrong

Liquid Metal blah blah blah color is lighter, more like GT Silver.

Pet peeve of mine when people share pictures or videos of cars without noting color.

I really think it is a meteor grey as I saw both meteor grey and liquid silver 918s in UAE side by side.
