Seal

Meteor is slightly darker and whilst they are both ok, my preferred colour having had both.

meteor is more metallic
seal is more like the inside of a sewage pipe

Slate grey is the one to go for (imo).

Meteor grey has a brownish tint to it whilst seal is slightly lighter and has a blue tint.

That sums it up perfectly.

Slate grey on the Grosglockner Pass... I know that wasn't the question but I thought I'd put it up anyway!

I have a Meteor Turbo and have never thought it to have a brownish tint!

Nice Meteor Turbo and the brownish tint is not obvious to see.

[HoHoHo]

Meteor is simply a slightly darker grey.

Both equally metallic as each other.

The clue was in the use of the word "hint". Park it next to a seal grey car and you'll spot it. It's very subtle and more visible under some lighting conditions than others. Every paint is made up of various colour tints.

Apologies for the typo. I meant the word "tint" not hint.

Mine is meteor (more by chance than choice) but I have to say the colour is excellent. A lot of people comment on it too - especially when its been polished.

[skmark]

.......they do polish up nicely, mines meteor, it does have a warmer look than the colder seal just my two penneth.

I think mine will be up for sale soon too

Just shows you how pictures are useless at showing colours.

The last 2 above look totally different!
