Not sure it's the correct Gray, but check EBAY, there is one there with photos.

I spent a lot of time looking at the different paints.
The xirallic colors (BRG, stratus grey, amethyst, sapphire, etc) are very hard to capture in photos. Those paints have have very shiny embedded particles which reflect the ambient light, so the color of the paint changes dramatically with the time of day and amount/tone of the light around.
So they will look very different in the day, night, under flourescent, or tungsten lighting.

For the stratus grey, I would say:
  • On the street at night with low lighting it looks pretty much black from afar. Close up you can see the xirallic glitter and it looks pretty sweet.
  • In a garage at night with flourescent lighting it looks very glossy black
  • During the daytime in bright light, it looks best....a pretty unique sparkling mid/dark grey. Head turner for sure.
  • During the daytime in overcast light it looks a slightly glossy dark grey.
  • At sunset it can look f*ing awesome: the tone gradient in the sky gets reflected off the particles and the paint actually has a color gradient to it.

My advice: go take a look in person even if the dealer is far away. It's a very dynamic paint so there is no photograph that can give you a feel for what it really looks like.

Thanks schraderade, but i have already seen this color in real and this is THIS Color that i want. But i don't see this ftype stratus grey with TORNADO silver

Great photos in your album Dr. Gek.
May have just changed my mind on the color when I order the coupe R later this month. Was a heavy lean for black until I saw these pics.
