is it black is it grey ??!!

[fleetwood1]

I have had my RCZ a few weeks now and the colour generates a lot of arguements ! Sold as colour grey, all paperwork states grey but a lot of people say its black ! From a distance it looks black but when you get up close its like a very very dark grey with a almost sparkly finish ! Is there a solid black non metallic colour ?? So is mine a grey metallic ???

There should be a colour code on the driver's door by the latch. If I am not mistaken the grey is called shark grey and it's very dark grey.

Isn't Mercury Grey very light grey?
Shark Grey or Charcoal were options, I think they were the darker greys.

Harrier Grey is the colour looks black but is grey lots of glitter in the paint work...

Oh goodness - that makes at least 4 greys I'm aware of, now, then, if you include Charcoal...
Maybe some were Mark 1 and some Mark 2?
It seems simpler with the reds: Mark 1 = Amber Red; Mark 2 = Moroccan Red?

Shark grey is my favourite grey RCZ.... But don't tell the Grey Lady as she's Mercury grey...

You can't beat a nice shark gray

Mine is to the casual observer, BLACK, hence my naming La Gata Negra (The Black Cat).
However it is called HARIA Grey.

Curious thing about the last photo is that the arches look silver; well they're not; trick of the light.
Here's another shot and they are black.

Wow - amazing how deceptive photos can be, especially colour-wise!

Fortunately, I've been to see another exactly the same colour as the one I've just put a deposit on, so have a good idea what it will really look like...

It's Moroccan Red metallic, though curiously I gather it was Eritrean Red in France! (Or "Rouge Érythrée" in French)

Since Morocco was a French colony, I can only assume they wanted to avoid domestic political connotations.

Though I've also seen it called Rouge Érythrée Sanguine (Eritrean Blood Red, if my French is correct??), which might arguably be even more overtly political, given the conflict there...

Weird, eh? (Goes off the research French attitude to the Eritrean war...)
