Default Graphite Blue photographed with white balance card

For those wondering what it looks like in person. These pictures have the white balance taken from the grey in the card. If your monitor is color-corrected you will have accurate colors. Even if not, cameras seem to be confused by this color in their white balance auto-detection, so this will still be more accurate, especially compared to other pictures on the same monitor.

I have the *.cr2 files if somebody want to play with them.

NOTE: the passenger side pictures have the grey card in the shade, so the car color in the shade is what is is accurate (lower body).

It stops looking metallic at a very short distance, that's for sure.

I've seen this in person for a whole day. Def is not metallic. Also comes across as a little more blue where these pics on my phone look a little more on the gray side. def a great color and one to see in person.

A local dealer had one in a dimly lit area and it looked like grey primer with some blue mixed in and a glossy clear coat. Not my first choice for a color.

Definitely a really interesting color. Just stopped by my local dealership and they had 4 graphite blue metallic 991s on the lot. Looks a bit like the Fashion Grey with a little blue mixed in. You really can't tell it's metallic from far away.
Looks amazing with the graphite blue + chalk two tone interior.
