Here are a couple more pics from today. I agree that two different colors of grey didn't work for me as well, too monochromatic.

Agreed, waiting for the clear markers as well. I ordered them over a month ago from the dealer, should have them any day.

GT and Agate are both awesome, only makes the decision that much more difficult...

If you like both and the cost of GT doesn't bother you I would go with that. My original spec was agate but changed it after seeing the car in direct sunlight. I know many people love it but the brownish tint just wasn't for me. Still think it looks great at night though.

I know what you're saying... I've had to look at these metallic colors in many different light conditions to truly understand the color I'd be getting... Agate, GT, Basalt... each can look so different, depending on the light conditions. In the case of Basalt, I love it in everything except direct sunlight. Then, I think it's too brown...

Non of those look at all brown, though I did see a new Cayenne in dark grey and it looked brown to me on a bright day.

I have had this car for 10 days now and I don't really see any brown in it, not sure what kind of light would give it some brown. Looks grey to me. GT Silver is a great color, I wanted more contrast and have owned silver in the past. BTW GT Silver is the best silver for the GT3.

The pic's of Agate you guys are looking at are on a clear day. I've heard of some saying there is some brown, still looking for the brown.
