Which 05-09 grey paint color is your favorite?
I've always thought mineral grey was a great color. I don't know why, but I never really see any 05-09 Mustangs in that color either. I think maybe I've seen 2 or 3 of them in person. What do you guys think?

I loved Mineral Grey! I had an '05 that was MG. Problem was, it was only a 1-year color on the S197's... 
Tungsten Grey was okay, but I really loved Alloy Grey too!

Mineral Gray was a great color, and you're right you almost never it on the street. Sometimes it was just a little too brown for me though.
I love Alloy. The thing I like about it is...it's always a sharp color, but when its really clean and especially if the car has just the right mods...it just gives the car such a high-end look. My only issue with it was that it was just a little too dark. Sometimes you could mistake it for a black car that's just dirty.
I always wished they made the S197 in Dark Shadow Grey. That was such a sharp color. Lighter than alloy, but not as bright as Vapor or Tungsten
The thing about Tungsten is...it has its ups and downs. In strong sunlight, especially if its dirty it can look pretty...meh. And in certain lights it has that infamous purplish hue. But if you keep it clean get it in the right light, man does it POP. And depending on the light, it takes on a whole different character. Just look at the other Tungsten pics people posted (Lookin great as always Wade), and then this one I took a couple years ago
It's not always the best looking of all the greys, but it's definitely the most interesting one. That's why its my favorite.

I really loved the look of Mineral Gray on the New Edge stangs. My 01 was Mineral Gray. But when Mineral Gray debuted on the 2005, I didn't like it. My favorite silver/gray color on the S197 is Alloy.

I like Mineral Grey, Tungsten, went with Alloy, to me it looks black at night but isn't as difficult to keep up as black.
Originally went with Satin Silver but changed to Alloy. Probably would have gone with Vapor if it was offered in 07.
I like any kind of silver or grey, used to only get red cars now its some shade of silver/grey. Our daily driver is a Sterling 2012 Focus.
