Yes. Slate is darker grey with a hint of brown, where meteor is a light/metallic grey. Both colors are great and if u like one, u will like the other

yep, and when seen together the difference is fairly significant. Slate changes colors depending on the light. I love it.

Meteor will change with lighting as well, either is a great choice. Anyone ever seen the old nonmetallic Slate Gray? Now that's a good look.
Combine either Gray with the Cocoa interior!

The old Slate is beautiful... a guy in our neighborhood had a 61 356 in Slate kinda like this (the red interior looks perfect on this car):
