For those of you with Sparkling Graphite Metallic paint. When people ask you what color your car is, how do you generalize or describe the color without saying "Sparkling Graphite Metallic"?

this is different than silver grey right? If it is the same that is what my car is. I just say silver-grey.

Sparkling Graphite has chameleon, mystical like qualities that change based on the amount of light reflected off its surface. Sort of like a car with mood swings on Prozac. Steel gray had the same quality. I kind of dig that on a car. It's a shame AG croaked it because it was killing all of the trees in the Black Forest and the rest of Der Vaterland.

In direct sunlight it has some purple in it.

I kind of agree. I would say Steel Grey metallic (my M Roadster's color).

mystic blue is my favorite for the ZHP. Silver gray is my fav for the M3.
