What colour is this?

I have no idea which colour I'd go for but love the look of the one I uploaded.
I've had white- I'd really like a dark colour now. The rocco is a masculine car and looks great in darker shades imo!

That looks awesome, real dark colour but just off black enough to not make the rest of the trim blend with the car!

I don't think it is sumatra as that has more of a brown tinge to it..

I think it is Sumatra, it does register differently with digital cameras in different lighting. I have photos that match it in that "shade". In other lighting conditions, with a digital camera, Sumatra shows a brown tinge.

I thought Pewter first but after looking back at some pics on this site I think Sumatra is the more likely - it can appear very different in different lighting. Hard to tell.

I thing to note is the shade difference between the black plastic fog panels and the Sciroccos colour is minimal in the original photo posted by sat1983

I put sat1983's pic and RW1's pics side by side and I reckon that sunlight 1.jpg is a match. Pewter is quite a bit paler.
I sat next to Sumatra in the showrooom for half an hour when I was collecting mine and I remember how it appeared as just a dark grey. Its only when you see it in bright sunlight that the copper colouration shows through.
Of course we could all need our monitors adjusting and it might really be Viper

sorry guys there is no way in hell thats pewter grey, its sumatra or black. in non direct strong light sumatra looks like very dark slate grey.
having seen my car in various different lights from winter to the english attempt at summer so far I think I'm qualified to say that

Didn't think it would cause such confusion lol! After seeing Trix's rocco I would tend to agree, it seems to be sumatra.
What a stunning colour.
Thanks all for your help!
