That's what I thought originally to but just drove 12 Canyon Grey gasser and it's not purple at all. Looks nothing like these pics.

Probably Canyon Gray. Maybe Flint.
Galapagos Gray is way darker. I suspect the digital camera is injecting a little purple due to the lighting conditions or something.

That is not purple at all. Not sure where you are seeing that color in those pics. There appears to me to be a slight red tint to the whole pic which may be your perception of it looking purple. It is a gray color. Just bad lighting and possibly camera.

Car paint pigments are very complex. It's possible that GG contains a small bit of color from multiple parts of the spectrum.

From your picture it looks like Galapagos to my eye...
Galapagos is a opaque metallic paint with a lot of color(s). Based on the light, angles, time of day, cloud cover etc, it will read in differently. Purple is one. Brown is another. Reddish gray is another.
It wasn't my 1st choice (I think Yeti got the last 4CAir build in Alaska Gray
), but I've come to really like it.Oh I don't know, I'm sure there is another one or two out there. Mine wasn't even in the states yet when I was working on buying it. Chris told me mine was supposed to be going to his sales manager when he was trying to sell it to me.(I think Yeti got the last 4CAir build in Alaska Gray
I had a galapagos 09 and I loved the color. usually a brown-grey, never a grey like canyon grey or something like that. Its got a heavy metallic flake mix in it so you'll get a bunch of colors popping out in direct sunlight, some have a purple hue but it doesn't make the vehicle look purple.
It doesn't photograph the way it looks...this is one that you need to see with your own eyes to decide if you like/don't like.

Too funny, mine was also the dealers car. My test drive was he gave it to me for the weekend.Oh I don't know, I'm sure there is another one or two out there.

This is exactly how I bought my 09 and 13...I just didn't give it back on monday morning. My test drive was he gave it to me for the weekend.
