Yes, those are two different colors. Blue is not the same as gray.

And that means a lot if I can tell. I'm colorblind.

Was that your question?

Catalina Blue Hands Down!

However, I'm the type of person that gets bored of a color at some point. So while the blue will "pop" when I first get it. I will be sick of it at some point and wish I chose something more more neural.


That's why I always end up with BLACK. Can't go wrong with that!

Agreed! I knew fam and friends would tell me mine is better just for support lol i purchase my aspec in may, the dealer only had white peal or graphite luster. Since i already had a white car b4 i went with gray, if they had the black it would had been a keeper!

You should have found the color you wanted instead of getting something that was in stock

Had the same dilemma was choosing between those to colors I opted for they graphite luster metallic. I was definetly unsure after taking ownership took me a good month before i felt graphite was the better choice. A) It looks more refined and upscale. B) Wont grab any attention from the cops. C) If it was TL type S blue definetly would have chosen it then.

I love the how dark the grey is, it matches well with the dark headlights, and the black accents on the aspec wheels. Almost considering on wrapping the chrome window trim to gloss black to keep a aggresive look.

Ya A) B) was the same thing my friends and fam were telling me. I guess to me the grass looks greener on the other side but if i was on the other side the grass might had look greener on my side lol What IRaw said as well the blue will "pop" at first but maybe later on i might want something more neutral and you are right it is not a regular gray its a dark metallic upscale looking gray. I feel bad now for wanting to trade it in. Ima go downstairs now and give my car a hug.

Stick with what you have and don't look back.

Graphite Luster is an awesome color!

LOL this is why we're going into another recession soon.


OP, be happy with what you have. it's just a color.

ask yourself, when you're a successful billionaire, would color have mattered?

As a bit of trivia, this actually is one reason why traffic lights are vertical - except in some parts of the south where they are horizontal - "hell, one light is on, it must be green."

My CTS is silver. I had that car for a long time and that color was perfect for that model ,even after 6 years was still getting compliments. The car didn't look good in blue or gray it looked best in silver. I pass it down to my lil bro. So yeah it still matters now

My vote goes to the grey one. Love that color. Stays looking clean for so long. And works with any other accent colors.
