Need Clarification on Factory Exterior Paint Options

Need Clarification on Factory Exterior Paint Options
Maybe it's the pictures, maybe its the camera, maybe its me...
either way, im trying to clarify something about the 3G TL.
How many grey tone colors are there? I know there is a silver, which is a bright grey look, then there is a dark grey, thats almost like a carbon black/grey smoke color. I just saw a picture and I swear this TL is in between the 2 colors, which made me think there are shades I don't know of....
I know what colors I'm willing to consider: WDP-The darker grey color and Black. I'm new to the site so WDP is the shorthand I've learned... lol

Thanks Guys for you help, I'm more confused now about the shade of grey, because I guess there is a difference in colors that are 2006 available... and then what colors are available in the 2007-08.
I think it's that Anthracite Metallic that was mentioned that is the shade of gray that I like, but since I want a 2007 I'm going to have to go with a different variation of that color. The sacrifices that I must accept in my life... lol

Also without physically being at the car (online shopping ) is there something that can be verified to confirm the color like in a picture or a placement on the car? All these websites say grey, and I dont want to see it in a picture then go to the dealer and then its another shade.

Gotta say this all confused me at first too. I can hardly tell the difference between PMM and CBP to begin with (and neither can the dealers that list a car as "grey") so I had trouble figuring out what my own car was before I looked up the color code. So you may want to call the dealer and have them find the color code inside the drive door and check it out

You can also call and ask the car dealers to check the door jamb for the car's color code. Might be a hassle for them but if they really want your business, they will go out and check for you.

Yea, I mean since I know the grey is different from 6-7 then I know what it will be, because I'm 99% not getting a 06 for no reasons... It would take a miracle for me to consider that now knowing about the upgrades from the years and also the tranny problem that was more or less cured in 07...

I don't recall anyone has problem with the 07-08 AT except for Paperboy and in his case he stated that Redline ATF is the main cause for failure.
#18
Yea it seems the problem was pre 07 which is why I want that year... I have looked at so many threads and I know everyone said to use an upgraded fluid and change the pressure switches... I just need to look it over again, once I find one...
#19
So just to confirm, there are 3 "Shades" of grey in 07-08 CBP, ASM, CGP right?

CBP is more of a bronze hence the bronze in the name (think brown).
ASM is a shade of silver hence the silver in the name.
CGP is a shade of gray hence the gray in the name. i believe this was only available in 2007. the other gray, only available in 2008 is polished metal metallic.
^^the latter two are the ONLY grays available. one for each year. ASM and CBP were available for 07 AND 08.
#21
OK.... I dont want the bronze colored one, and I dont want the bright silver color... So I guess I need to be looking for CGP, aside from WDP or NBP.... I'm still learning... But thanks everyone!
