My golfing buddy has the exact same color Telluride.
Yes, I agree. It's less dynamic.
Looks very similar in shade, but different.

It's not an argument, and I didn't say it was ugly. I just personally want something that's relatively unique. Something I'm unlikely to see every day. For instance, I love Nardo Grey, and 10 years ago I might have chosen that. But now that it's on every single Honda, Kia, etc and it seems to be everywhere, no interest at all.

Again, I said I love the color, so contrary to further posts, I'm not a hater.

Not sure yet, partially because I'm still torn between a G80 6MT and G83, can't decide whether I want the extra pedal or roof more. Current front runners are Fashion Grey, Aegean Blue, and Velvet Blue. Frozen Dark Grey would have been an option until it was discontinued. Of the stock colors my top choices would probably be Skyscraper, Dravit, or Aventurin Red because in addition to being interesting, I don't see them all the time.

At any rate, I apologize for touching a nerve, and will bow out now.

You may still be able to get Frozen Deep gray on the G83. Calbears is a CA (I think, works at a dealership though).

Edit: Frozen Deep gray is showing up in the indiviualizer for the G83

Love the orbit grey wheels, can you post a side view? I have a M4 BG on order with the orbit grey wheels and haven't seen many photos.

No harm done. As I said, those (color) options are everybody‘s individual choice. And that said, I just would not get influenced what other people choose, thus go with BG if I like it most. And that is what I obviously did. Seems you have several potential colors in mind, that is good (and painful to decide). I wrote somewhere else, this car looks great in any color.

Yeah that's what I prefer about it. No blue undertones. That being said BG is still an awesome color.

I've seen BG just about on every model now and haven't noticed a difference. I'll try to line two up.

Thank you. I've always wanted red calipers since I was 14. Blue wouldn't have been a bad choice. I think black doesn't stand out enough.
