Default When does Atlas Grey ever look grey?

From some pictures on this forum, I've seen Atlas Grey look Black, Dark Blackish Blue, and Grey, but in real life, I've only seen it look Black or Dark Blackish Blue, but never in the nice dark drey's that I've seen in some pictures here. So I'm just wondering, does this colour ever look like Dark Grey? Do I need overcast conditions? Dusk? Night? I've only seen it in direct sunlight.

Thanks!

I have Atlas Grey. It is great. People double take on my car because they can't figure the color. At night, it is black. In the bright sun, it is a very dark grey with a tinge of blue. At dusk, it is essentially black.

That's the beauty of Atlas Grey. It changes color with the rising sun.

Beautiful color. Love it.

I have Atlas and it never looks the same. It looks more grey when it is dark or overcast. Photos do not capture the essence of this color. It must be seen in person.

Yes, I love my Atlas

I think flat lighting really helps the look of Atlas Grey. (And thus popular in the UK,--right?)

Cool, too bad whenever I've been at the dealership, its nice and sunny outside . Guess I'll head over there on an overcast day one day. But even in the sun it looks nice with the tinge of blue, really goes well with the tail lights and red calipers... Then again, none of this matters when I'm inside the car
