I've been using Autogespot recently, excellent for seeing different colour and wheel combinations.


Does anyone please know, is this storm grey?

Looks excellent whatever it is - i'd written off the silver turbines but they look great with that grey colour.

 

Hello,


this colour seems to be stratus grey.

 

That is Stratus Grey.

Storm Grey wasn't available until the 2016 model year.

 

Thank you....I should have picked up on that.


The pics look great, especially with those silver turbines.


I guess storm grey would look fairly similar

 

The wheels in your OP are "Tornadoes." These are "Turbines."

Thank you, that was a typo on my part.


Speaking of colours, does anyone please know are these both sapphire blue?

I'm about to confirm my order i think now for Sapphire Blue and i just want to check that all the pics I've been looking at aren't some discontinued colour! Sapphire Blue is supposed to be quite dark i thought.

 

Yes those are sapphire blue.

 

These are photos of my Storm Grey '16 R Coupe.

In a shaded environment, Storm Grey is a little lighter than Stratus Grey. However, it is a lot more reflective. It draws in color from its environment and varies in shade quite a bit depending on the lighting conditions.

 

storm grey is more of a true grey compared to stratus which has that blue tint to it

in full sun

 

Thanks guys


But damn it those pics of the storm grey in sunlight look amazing......making my decision harder....i had decided on the blue, but now I'm not so sure! First world problems i know!

 

Hi MI-FType, I read somewhere on the forums that the painted parts of the gyrodyne wheels is in fact storm grey. Since you have a storm grey car with gyrodynes I thought maybe you would be a good person to ask if this was true! Also, i would not mind your opinion if you would be willing to give it. I just purchased a base, convertible in ultimate black metallic. I have it scheduled to go in to have all the matte pieces (rear valance, font diffuser, front bumper bar, etc...) and all the chrome bits painted in gloss black just like on the black pack optioned cars. But I just got a set of gyrodynes like yours and I started considering doing all the chrome bits (side vents, front grill ring, maybe also the emblems) in storm grey instead of gloss black to sort of bring the wheels and the car together and to add a small amount of color so the vents/lines are not completely lost into the black of the car. Since you have the color and I have never seen it first hand, do you think the chrome bits would look good in storm grey or would they be too bright? I think it would look pretty similar to the new f-type 400 sport in black, the way they made those pieces match the dark wheels they put on the car. Thanks in advance for your opinion and info on the gyrodyne paint color. Great looking car you've got there!

 

 

They are closer than I thought in sunlight, although I think stratus grey tends to look more "black" in most lighting situations.
