Is this Singapore grey?

My incoming M5 is Singapore grey. Looks darker in the images online and the configurator. These reflectors from IND look lighter almost silver.

The site configurator is really tricky with these metallic colors, but I don't think that is Space Grey. Like everyone else is saying, it is almost black. I saw it at a dealer on a sample swatch, and there was no question it was a very dark shade of grey. I'd think of sending that back to IND, they may have sent you the incorrect one...

The online colors are off.

That’s donington grey metallic. Looks like the shipping team made an error. I’ll have them take care of this on Monday.

As others have said, that's definitely not Singapore grey, which is a much darker colour. At night it could pass as black, daytime it's a very deep and dark grey

That pic looks like space grey or a variant of it, donnington grey is a possibility but very hard to tell

Yeah I sent IND an email with the images as well to their customer service email. Mistakes happen.

Those paint samples are simply no fun to drive.
