They could call it anything but if the color code matches it's the same color.

why wouldn't they call it the same name?
the white has the same name...in my experience with honda, if the name is different then the paint code is different usually too! and even if it is the same color, its still called Graphite Pearl in Canada, not Carbon Gray...

Didnt we know this a while ago that they were going to call CG something else, but in the end what difference does it make it looks the same. Its just a name

It's also Graphite Pearl in Australia. Exact same paint code as the Carbon Grey. I'm always translating things into American english so just refer to it as whatever is appropriate for the environment in which it's being discussed.

Guys, solve the question. Someone with US CG find his paint code, and Canadian CG do the same and we'll then be able to solve the big mystery.

Here in Europe the color is also named Graphite Pearl. Looking at the picture I'm pretty sure it is the same color.

Graphite Pearl = Carbon Gray.

My touchup paint says "Graphite Pearl" and matches my CG perfectly.
