Brooklyn Grey Washed Out?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Every time I see Brooklyn grey in pics online it looks so washed out and a very light baby blue. Especially in the sun. Are these pics pretty accurate or is it a color only appreciated in person? Thanks for the help ! |

It does have a blue hue to it, especially under direct sunlight.
On cloudy days it looks more like nardo gray. I have it and i never saw the actual color in person before choosing. Just from what i saw on the computer. Once i placed my order i was committed. THEN i saw a brooklyn M4 in person, on a bright sunny day and i fell in love. I knew i made the right choice. |

Yes it's a a baby blue light blue jeans look on a gloomy day, in bright sun it's chalky, and at night it's closest to its original bg color

I like to think we're deep enough into the production of the G8X that we can find an owner with a standard/normal paint near us.
If not, paint is such an important choice that it's worth spending a day to travel out to see it in person if need be.

I loved it so much I got it again for my 22. I went to dealerships to look at other colors. If there was a light blue offering that wasn't ind, id gotten that...

Are you trying to stay on the cheap side, and just pick a color that doesn't cost anything? Or just the $500 colors, or are you not worried about the cost, and are willing to go with an individual color, because there are literally dozens of colors you can go with.

It's a pretty neat color but I like more exciting and wild colors. I do not think it's washed out looking though.. Here are a few in various lighting conditions.

Exactly why I'm going with Skyscraper Grey. Brooklyn Grey is too light for me....

It's pretty in person. Pops the black bits of the car well.

Its a great option from the standard pallet and you will appreciate it in person.
It has a tint of blue in sunlight and offers grey shade in the darkness. I picked it for my build as it highlights the black accents better than IOMG which was my second option if i didnt take the individual route. |

This is why I switched to a different color, the blue hue under sunlight didn't look grey to me anymore.

I didn't love the color till i saw it in person, but then i went for it. It's a lot more dynamic with the lights/darks than you would think. Pic below:
