I'm bringing this thread back from the archieves because I've changed my mind again

I had my heart set of the Graphite Grey Pearl (Mitsu color) but then I tried picturing it with chrome accents, and it didn't seem like it would work well. I also tried to picture it with a different (lighter) colored wheel, and it also didn't look right. So I started searching, again.

My first stop was Porsche. I looked through their new and old colors, but nothing seemed all that special. Then I came across this beauty-



That isn't a Subaru color, but it was a lead! Turns out that is acutally BMW's #400 Steel Grey. It's got many different shades depending on the lighting, but it's not as dull as the Mitsu Graphite Grey Pearl. Here is a picture of it on an actual BMW (low light again)-



Here is a better lit picture, but it's big. Sorry!



I think this color would look much better with chrome accents (bumper and handles) than the GGP and since the color is a bit lighter, it would look good with silver wheels or even gold/bronze wheels with a nice polished lip.

I'm also giving some thought to BMW's Steel Blue-



What do you guys think?
