Yeah I figured it must be. Here's that color in their design studio, look how black it looks there:
sorry I'm a little late to the party.. how long ago did the Brown and Green colors disappear from the Design Studio ?
around the time of the p85d intro. I believe very few got those colors
Is the "Gray Metallic" the same as what they called "Steel Gray" ?

Dark metallic gray would be my personal color of choice. On the old Roadster, the Thunder gray was too light, and not metallic enough for my tastes.
I prefer the new "Steel Gray" (or whatever it is called) over the previous "Dolphin Gray" they had before.
Some people think a dark gray is too boring / stodgy / conservative, but I like the way it hides seam lines somewhat, while still giving character to the body lines, and giving a nod to the metallic construction of the vehicle. For those into ultimate safety though, having a vehicle close to the color of asphalt isn't the best way to be seen.
I once bought a Lexus in their color "Graphite Gray Pearl" which I loved as a color. Along with being dark gray metallic it also has a pearlescent finish that throws off highlights when light hits it from the correct angles.

Actually, yes, it is Steel Grey. They discontinued Dolphin Grey in favor of this in the July-August 2014 timeframe. I ordered Dolphin and they called me saying it was changed and I could pick any color. I went with Steel and am very happy with it. It is not nearly as dark on the actually are as it is in the photo. It has a slight hint of blue when in the sun up close.

Yesterday I saw what appeared to be a brand new P85D (had the paper "Zero Emissions" sign in the rear plate frame) but it appeared to be painted Dolphin Gray. I was very surprised because that color was discontinued last summer. Maybe I got the color wrong but it sure didn't look like the new Steel Grey.
