Cypress: Looks green or gray

Does anyone own a Bentley CGT in the Cypress color? Most of the cypress pics I have seen look like a slate gray or seal grayish color and not really green.

I am debating about picking one up out of state but want more of the gray color as opposed to the green.

Anyone have one in Cypress that can describe what it looks like in daylight/nightime?

Cypress over Saddle

I do not own one but know someone that does, and it always looked very green-ish to me, at all times of day/types of lighting

Give me your e-mail and I will send you my pictures of it, so you can make an educated decision from there....

Pics

Sent you PM with my email.

I do like the some of the greenish tint to it as it looks classy with the saddle interior. It almost looks like a seal gray at times or dark gray with a little green showing...see pics below. The first 2 pics are from Bentley of Cypress and Tungsten. It looks very cool...and to get it about $15K less than comparable ones with only 17K miles, I think that should push me over the edge. Thanks!

I'm going to a dealer tomorrow locally with a Cypress Flying Spur just to see what it looks like.

3 years late on my reply, but Im in no hurry.
My Cypress Green 04 CGT looks either green or grey depending on who you ask.
I dont think it depends on the light that much - when I first got the car, my kids said they liked the grey and I told them it was green. We then proceeded out to the driveway where all 4 of us said "told you so". 2 of us confirming it was grey, the other 2 confirming it was green.

cypress green

Mine looks metalic green in the Florida sun. It is the best color I have seen on Bentleys
