Default Discrepancy in Slate Gray Neo Color on 992.2 GTS vs. Panamera

I'm currently using the Porsche configurator to spec my 992.2 GTS, and I've noticed a significant difference in the Slate Gray Neo color when compared to the same color on the Panamera configurator. Given that both should theoretically be the same, the variation is quite striking.

My question is: which configurator is closer to the actual representation of Slate Gray Neo? It's quite confusing since in some online videos the color appears more like the first configurator's depiction, while in others it looks more like the second.

Has anyone else noticed this discrepancy or have insights into which might be more accurate? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Same with GT silver. Seems way darker than we know it is

Just comparing your screenshots to the debut video, the top looks closer, but is not a good representation.

Matt Watson's Video shows that it is closer to the bottom. (Link Below)

Do you guys think they have been darkening the images and videos of the 992.2 to call less attention to the vertival slats?

I also think Lugano Blue is quite a bit brighter IRL on a Panamera than what the configurator shows for the 992.2

I'm emphatically disagreeing. Haha. It looks much closer to the top IMO.

It's crazy how the minds eye interprets color. I could be seeing yellow and you could be seeing brown but the color could be orange.




But like I said earlier, both off.

Oh also. Here's some food for thought. I've had an arctic grey 992 and saw an arctic grey Cayenne same MY, 23, but they looked to me different.
