Atlas Grey
Sorry if this has been previously posted, but I was looking for comments/thoughts on this color - particularly a convertible with black interior and top. There is a car with these specs which I'm looking into, but since it's out of state I haven't been able to see it in person, only pics. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

TIA!

It's not really grey at all. It looks dark blue in some light and black in others. I'm not quite sure why there is a grey in name.

I have atlas gray with black interior coupe and I love it. It does look like a dark grayish blue most of the time. It is a little easier to maintain than black, but it gives you the great look of a dark color.

I like it being a rarer color. I haven't seen another Atlas Gray besides mine. I did see a pink 911 two days ago. I think I'll stick with Atlas Gray. +1 on easier to maintain than black.

I have Altas Grey. It is a very complex color, and it apprears differently under different lightings. Sometimes it is black, sometimes it is metallic dark grey, sometimes it is silver grey, sometimes it has a tint of blue. It has a mesmerising effect especially under bright sunlight. Not our everyday simple car color, kind of like a glass of cabenet sauvignon that takes us time to explore its complexity.

My wife had that combination (Atlas with Black/Black) on a 05 Boxster and it looks great.
