That's it...Atlas is darker than Seal but lighter than Slate. Third gray for Porsche.

Yeah me too, but you can't beat seeing a whole car painted in that color to really see the difference.

Hi Darren911,

I tried and tried to tell people Atlas Grey was only a shade up from Basalt Black. I was thinking today that I should go back to the dealer and line up Arctic Silver, Seal Grey, Atlas Grey, and Basalt Black from the 7" x 11" sample case & take a digi-pic.

Great minds think alike - you & your buddy beat me to it. Good job!!!

996turbo,

IIRC, Atlas is DARKER than Slate.

Atlas grey is darker than Slate and has a significant purplish tint to it. At least, that's how it looked to me when viewing the factory paint sample sheets in direct sunlight. The color has potential, but I'd need to see it on a car before making a purchase/order decision.
