Galaxy Grey?

nindoo · 11-23-2005, 09:54 AM

Is Galaxy Grey a brownish grey or is it similar to the magneusium metallic of the previous gen civic, or the graphite pearl of the TSX.

It's definitely not the same gray as last years civic. It's more similar to the first or second year RSX, I think the color was Desert Mist or something similar.

I'd say it's something like a dark silver.

It is more brown. In the bright sunlight, it has gold flecks in it. I really think Honda should have called this color "Galaxy Bronze" or something to indicate the gold/brown tint. In my opinion, the "Gray" is misleading.

It is similar to the Accord color they call "Carbon Bronze Metallic" but the GG is a little lighter.

I don't know why they got rid of the dark silver magneusium color it was a nice color.

aznchzexr · 11-23-2005, 06:42 PM

depends on the light quality

darker brown at night

C17chief · 11-23-2005, 07:54 PM

yeah, def more like a shade of brown no matter what the light is. I like it and got it. I think it's probably THE most common color for the new civics, so might not be the thing to get if you want to be a little less common though. Doesnt bother me, but some people are like that.

Nice car, and thanks for the pics. :)

Trick000 · 12-03-2005, 07:40 PM

That almost looks like the desert silver that came on the 02 RSXs. Except it's a little less golden/brown.

I saw it at the local Honda dealer, yeah its almost an identical color to desert silver metallic on the 02-04 RSX's.

Trick000 · 12-06-2005, 08:27 PM

Whatever it is.. I think its a unique and sexy color. That would look very nice on the SI. Man I wish I had the cash! :P

8thGenCivicDude · 12-13-2005, 10:02 PM

Damn, peeps. Can't wait 'til the summer comes and I can actually keep mine as clear as your pics. BTW, on the contract I signed at the dealership when I picked mine up, the colour specified was "Greyish Si." Hehe, Greyish Silver, I presume they meant, but ran out of room. Brown has never come to mind when looking at it at any lighting. I hope it isn't a more popular colour in Canada btw, cuz that wuz one of a few reasons why I got mine that colour and waited 4 weeks to get it

The only thing i dont like about the color is that, it doesnt shine or isnt as sharp as other colors. It would be hard to make it look "clean"?

Hello,
I beg to differ on the last part of your statement. It actually looks quite a bit cleaner during the winter than most other colours. At least in a Canadian winter, that is. The only other colour that would either come close in respect to looking clean would be the silver. At least that's in respect to the colours available in Canada :-)
