Default Sherwin Williams Color of the Year: Arctic Grey

OK, so they have some marketing word for the color that is different, but essentially grey with a hint of blue - exactly our color. On trend, on point! Well done those that specified it......

Don't think this color will age well in that it will look dated at some point in 5+ years.

Lighten up Mr. Sensitive. I didn't attack anyone and I certainly didn't crap all over your thread.

Classy. He didn't get his validation so he looks at your profile to see where you're from and crap on it.
​​It's definitely more blue than gray. Not a fan. Those colors of the year are just marketing anyway.

IKR? It’s like saying you’re a _________ bc you are _______ . Why even try and be ticked off or offended coming from such a perspective.

I just ordered my 2025 Cayenne Coupe S Hybrid in that color. It was either Arctic Grey or PTS......

After living with this color for the last few months, still loving it. A few updated pics with some wall art added. Painting the inside of the garage doors the same color, really gives it a room feel.

Looks fantastic. I'm about to order and deciding between Quartzite and Arctic Gray. The build page for Arctic Gray makes it look almost pastel blue. Did you happen to come across any pics that show quartzite and arctic side by side in similar light conditions?

Enjoy the car. I'll likely get an E-Hybrid coupe. Looking forward to it.

Also would love any insights you have on what your build spec was and why you chose or didn't choose options.

you can take a look at colors for Porsche here, it’s a Wiki for all the paints

https://www.rennbow.org/

also, I posted this color compare on the Cayenne forum that has the two you are seeking in same lighting, but on Cayennes.

Arctic Grey is great looking. We've painted our interior of our home in various greys/grays over the last few years and love the new trend. That Sherwin Williams color though is a Grey color that is much lighter and more like Ice Grey Metallic but nowhere near Arctic Grey.
