Anyone got any nice, big, daylight photos showing off Fjord Grey on an 8?

Its a tremendous colour
Has a faintly bluish tinge, I believe which I've rarely, if ever seen photographed properly in good light.

Sorry to use the phrase "OMG" but

OMG

Thats gone straight in at No 4 on my E31 Colours Chart

Here we are...
It is a nice colour..

I'd theoretically swap my yellowbird for a Fjord Grey, that feeling doesn't happen often.

Thanks Balbo, and Reinhard!

Balbo / Reinhard - do you mind if I share those images on another E31 board?
Wanting to prove to a few doubters just how lovely a colour it is

Thanks Danilo - you made me completely doubt myself!
I know what you mean - but colour and the E31 have an intimate relationship - very intimate. Therefore, IMO, subtle variations in shade/ colour have a massive bearing on one's own reaction to any E31, I think. Of course we all have our own preferences

Fjord grey is, I guess a kind of gunmetal grey, but to me appears to have more depth and more of a blue grey than modern gunmetal greys, and for me the name Fjord has to be 50 times more appealing than the word ''gunmetal'

So… anyone else loves Fjord, or else finds it ordinary?
..We all know bold primary colours are best anyway, ha

Nope, the wonderfully-named Orinoco a less appealing shade to me than Fjord Grey which to me is The Grey for our cars

Can you give us a top of the pops style run down of your top 10 colours?

Not sure I can manage a Top 10 Paul! I've seen very few E31s in unusual colours "in the flesh".
I'll try a Top 5 but in true Pirate spirit, these are more guidelines than actual rules as I don't always know the exact shades / names

1) Wokke's Giallo Yellow

2) This Red:

3) This one-off custom colour

4) This absolute-guesser of a colour, probably custom too:

5) Koizumi Black:

6) If any blue gets in, it'll be this one - I know not the name, it may not even be a real car by the look of it:
8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/26513/

Fjord Grey, regrettably doesn't quite make this list… but it would make the Top 10, along with Dakargelb obviously, and probably white...

Thanks for clarifications Reinhard!

However - No. 5 is most certainly not heavily Shopped.
It is however heavily Zaino'd.

When you say No.4 is 'shopped Reinhard. The whole image looks normal - are you saying the car isn't really the colour it appears to be?

Thanks for the shots of the Orange Hartge. That remains one of my favourite colours..

Regarding Pic No 5 - Reinhard, I've seen a series of huge photos of Koizumi's 8 and as far as I know and as far as anyone has admitted: they aren't Instagram Filtered and the car really does look like that. Shines like no other 8 I've seen.
