All great colors, but I think Grey Black is one we don't see too often. Such a wicked color.

GTP or FG would be my personal preference, but dont think you can go wrong with any of them. Id try to decide if you want a metallic or uni paint and then go from there.

Thanks, guys. Good feedback so far. I tend to gravitate towards lighter colors, but since our other cars are pearl white I was leaning towards a light grey like LRG or GT. Having said that, grey black is very intriguing and would be the most different/darker from what I have and am used to. Would it be a lot more difficult to keep clean (since it’s closest to black so to speak)? I think KO will go well with any of these.

Interesting. I thought they were fairly close. I wonder if lime rock is more similar to nardo then, although nardo doesn’t have metallic in it. And I know GT has pearl in it but how does that compare to “metallic” like in lime rock?

Here’s a pic of my Lime Rock Grey 50 Jahre Edition G80 next to a Nardo Grey Audi TTRS for comparison- taken Saturday 2/4 at the local Cars & Coffee event…
The Lime Rock Grey has a very slight greenish undertone that I really like, and a subtle metallic flake that’s only really visible in direct sunlight. Nardo is non-metallic. I get lots of compliments on the car and color. |

I was convinced i loved dravit and had it on my order until I saw a dravit 8 series at the dealer in the sun. IND painted me a speed shape in GTP and i fell in love. Took a lot of the anxiety out of the process. |

Lime Rock is much more interesting and dynamic than Grigio Telesto. I would suggest Ferrari Grigio Medio instead of Telesto for something more unique. Telesto looks like Dravit in a lot of lighting conditions. I think BMW also paints "Ferrari Silver" which is the same as Grigio Titanio, more similar to the E46 M3 Silver Grey A08.
