Looking at color choices...

I found this photo of a GT3 in Munich and I like the color, but I could not tell what it is.

Anthracite Brown Metallic, Mahogany Metallic, Agate Grey???...

Wheel color I am guessing is the std Platinum?

I think it's Agate, but hard to tell with the filter and glare.

The entire picture seems to have a brownish hue. If that is the case then I'd say its agate otherwise anthracite brown. It does look gorgeous!

I bet its agate. Reminds me a bit of the old seal gray.

It may be Agate Grey but these two photos below look like Agate Grey as well and they look nothing like the photos above...

Looks like a definite Agate. That first OP photo is a Long Exposure image (note the streaking tail-lights), and with no flash, the in camera processing makes those images look "sepia like".

As for the photos later posted, those are both Agate too. The first is in natural daylight (not direct daylight), and is the closest to what the eye would naturally see. The last image is exposed closer to a "flash white balance" with lots of stage lighting reflecting off the paint too.

MileHigh,

Thanks.... One of my hobbies is photography but I am afraid to say I did not think that a long exposure would turn the Agate Grey color into Sepia.... But I think you are correct. Thanks for chiming in...

I really like the Agate Grey and I think it has won me over from my original choice of white. The second two photos with their slightly difference in color hue is more understandable, but I really added them into this thread because they look nothing like the one's from the first post...
