I've searched far and wide...does anyone actually have some good pictures that show off these colors? The ones in the Acura brochure are too studio-like to decide...

These colors are far too dependent on lighting to compare via photos.

The appearance of my PMM (grey) changes considerably with light changes. In bright sunlight, it looks like Paladium (silver) and at night it looks like Grigio (charcoal).

You'll have to go to the dealer lot and compare them in-person side-by-side to determine what you really prefer.

Actually, this is a handly relative color scale:

Grigio all the way baby!!

Sorry, no pics of mine, since it's done nothing but snow and rain for the past month. Will get some up soon. Haven't done much to it, except add 35% tints and a system. Hopefully will have some rims by the time I'm upping pics =)

notice how the color changes in the light
the last 2 photos are probably my best of the color
the acura web site is not the best representation of the color imo

Thanks crxb...that's the confusing thing...how blue your color is in #2 above vs the bottom two...

The Acura pictures and the online shots are so bogus, honestly you need to go to a dealer and see them, even pictures may not properly capture them as with digital cameras you have color temperature white balance issues. There is no substitute to actually seeing them with your own eyes.

that 2nd pic may not be a true representation of the color, pic #3 was taken at the same time and is closer to the 'real' color Still the light does have a big effect on it esp from bright skies to overcast. Easy to keep clean though. I have said it many times but my 04 NBP - I could wash/zaino - and 2 hours later in the garage it would show dust. Just check out the colors you like under different light (esp out of the artificial show room lights)

crxb

all true KeithL

I did set the white balance (expodisc) b4 taking these photos (except for #4 (taken w/ a P&S)) Afterwards I didn't change the bal and temp in post.
like KeithL said - see em w/ your own eyes

Wish I'd said that!
