I came upon these series of pics by @Mohamed_Mn (Instagram) of a GT3 spotted in Dubai. I truly hope its GT Silver, as it looks stunning.

Looks like Agata gray. GT silver is lighter.

Hmmm.....I think it's too light for agate. I've seen agate and it doesn't have that silvery hue.

That's not agate. Not sure that's GT Silver either. Hard to tell in that lighting.

I don't think there is any way that is agate grey. It is too light and shiny. Agate grey is a darkish hue

I'm not entirely sure that the lighting is at fault here; I think it's instagram or the user that uploaded it there...

Here a pic someone posted which compares the various silvers. These swatch colours are also hugely affected by ambient lighting. Its hard to get a true representation of the colour.

The pics are heavily edited so who knows. The blacks aren't even black in the picture for reference.

Exactly. Heavy Photoshop pictures so totally unreadable as to color

Haku: I'm 100% sure it's GT Silver. Agate is much darker and doesn't have the same shine to it. Rhodium has a blue hue to it. That's exactly the look of GT Silver in that kind of lighting.

Yup, that's GT Silver. Not a chance it's agate.

Yes, some here are not recognizing that fact.
