Didn't realize Slate and Grey Black (7A1?) would be so close (with the latter seeming a shade or two lighter or "milkier").

It's definitely not Fashion grey.

I'm 95% certain that it is one of the 2 slate greys.

The lighting is tricky but IMO based purely on the contrast with the black accents of the car, 3 of the 4 images look more like slate grey 615. That said, in most lights I find 615 to look brownish green and this does not.

The last image (attached) however looks very much like y97 (attached).

Sorry my answer's not more definitive but In any event it's beautiful and I'm still happy with my Y97 choice for the GT4!

While we're on the topic of slate grey, here is an interesting PTS specimen. I understand it is 615 rather than Y97:

Yes, quite nice. Although I may get blasted for saying this, I don't think the new 615 Slate grey looks exactly like the old Steve McQueen Slate Grey.

No. That was the old 'Slate Grey Metallic'. That is not on the approved PTS list.
The 991 gt3 in question is a 'Solid/Uni' color.

I had a turbo this same color and it's not the color above.

We don't think the OP's car in question from Autogespot is a 'Metallic'.



And 'Grigio Telesto' version at Porsche is a 'Metallic':

Porsche calls it Grigio telesto metallic but in viewing the paint sample at Porsche exclusive the metallic is virtually imperceptible so I am thinking there is still a good chance that it's the color.

Very close to Y97. If not, then possibly Grigio Telesto.

Incidentally, Eduardo. I think Y97 might be the closest PTS color to your Nardo Grey. Definitely darker, but also the closest on offer.

Edit: N/M! I just the posts on page 2 of this thread.

Here is my 615 Targa in the sun on Saturday. Just taken with my phone, color changes a lot based on the light as expected. It is actually very close to how the historic 615 looks from memory, but I haven't parked it next to one yet.

Car still needs a detail, but gives you an idea. That is a very dirty DBM Macan in the background.
