In bright sunlight, Brands Hatch is very, very light Grey, in cloudier conditions, it is mid to dark grey.

Stance is perfect and love the wheels ... old school retro feel works well.

It is one of the most metallicy, is that even a word ?, colours i have ever seen on a BMW. There is green, purple, silver, and even a bit of bronze in there to my eyes, when in very bright sunlight .

beautiful and to clarify,, i think some of the pictures and videos make the color too light, but the pics here seem closer to what i saw with the naked eye, Simon, thats a nice close up and wow, its kindof a mix of everything in there, kindof reminds me in art class in elementary school when you mix alot of colors together all you get is a weird grey

Had a 2018 Donington now a 21C BHG. Definitely not a light color, especially coming from the Donington.

It's dark. It's the camera settings - many photos I've seen have very flat contrast and linear curves, so it tends to make the colour look quite a bit lighter in the photo than in real life.

Here are two photos I posted in another thread of my just-recently-ceramiced and paint corrected Brand's Hatch grey M5

I stopped by my dealer yesterday to glance at one they had and I agree, it was much darker than a lot of the pictures show online. Very pretty color IMO.
