Default Is my car seal gray?

I thought I'd check. It's close but not exact. Still glad Porsche used the guys up front as a go-by and not the ones in the rear. Seal Tan doesn't quite sound right.

Looks like seal gray to me, Porsche doesn't have any other color that's really close. And it definitely changes based on the lighting.

Atlas Gray, another subtle yet rare color.

My apologizes for this thread. I was actually comparing the color of our cars to actual seals in my second photo, and noting that Porsche got fairly close with the color.

Absolutely, I figured that the OP knew how to determine color by the paint code under the frunk.

Plus, seems like the whites and brights (blue, red, yellow) get all the the love.

While I really covet the blue cars, Seal Gray over black was my first choice when I bought my car nearly 4 years ago. Sure it's a little bland, but it's also subtle enough to blend into traffic much better than just about all the other colors.

Over the past 4 years, I have also grown to love Basalt Black. Very special!

It may be seal gray, but it WANTS to be Guards Red!

Actually, he wanted the most desirable Porsche grey - that being slate grey metallic:
