Mineral grey in real life

shahidguo · 03-18-2014, 10:09 PM

I was dead stuck on Estoril Blue and wasn't even considering the Mineral Grey

Here's mine.

What's great about Mineral Grey is that the flame surfacing really comes through with this color like no other. It can look very different depending on lighting conditions, it's really Deep Grey, Space Grey, and Glacier Silver all in one. While other F3X colors can give you a light show, Mineral Grey rules all in this regard, it's a color I keep trying to get away from but it keeps drawing me back in.

Works well with all interior colors too, and hides the panel seams nicely.

I would tend to disagree. I have been learning to love my EB more and more, seeing the color in the morning sun proves it has the same qualities, the front of the car shows as a light electric blue while the rear or side shows a darker tone. Its truly amazing.

My GC is MG/CR and I am extremely happy I chose this combination.

The best thing I've found about the MG is, when the car is absolutely filthy from rain and brake dust on the wheels, it takes on a really cool color-coded appearance, where the wheels are close in color to the paint.

Just today I was having coffee a Black GC pulled up outside, I didn't think it looked as good as mine in MG.

Glacier Silver/ Coral, shows lines well on my GC, and so easy to keep clean.

MG rules over EB in my opinion with black wheels

No disagreement there, EB is a fantastic color and one I would call second-most dynamic from a flame surfacing and gradient standpoint. Carbon Black might qualify but I find the blue hue is only visible on an extremely bright day, otherwise looks black.

All are great looking cars, we're fortunate to own them.

Definitely fortunate.

I'll agree to disagree and say MG and EB both are equal in that regard

Carbon black really needs a LOT of sun to bring out the blue so I agree there as well, but it is an amazing color.

I was dead set on EB but the more I saw it in direct sunlight, the more washed out and light blue it looked. MG goes from looking great to looking amazing depending on the light. In low light, it just looks sinister. At least to my eyes. Can't go wrong with either color though. I think they're the top colors for this series.

Its a great color but I already have a Steel Gray E46 and needed some change.

Nice E46 you have there!

Anyone have MG with Oyster Black interior? Just ordered this combo and I think it will be a gorgeous pairing.

I was flipping between MG/CR and EB/Black, but decided MG was just a bit too dark for an F31. If Space Grey was available, that would have been my choice. As standard colours stand, EB is my favourite.

Do the red seats look that bright or is it just the camera?

Not playing, sorry.

Odd that people with MG Fxx's like the color...

They aren't quite that bright.
