Need inspiration...show me non-metallic grey colors

My car is GP White and I'm pondering respraying my car a non-metallic grey. I was originally set on Porsche Slate Grey, but it is not as unique as it used to be and perhaps a little too dark for my taste. My car is a ratrod, non-original widebody with aftermarket steel flares. Originality is not a concern. Here are some options I am considering. Please post your thoughts and suggestions and give me some more ideas!

Porsche Slate Grey


Porsche Linen Grey


Porsche Stone Grey


Porsche Dolphin Grey


Sport Classic Grey


Audi Nimbus Grey


Scion Concrete Grey


Ferrari Grigio Medio

Aviator Grey on the Audi TT was always a color that I liked too.

I think I am narrowing my selection down to Marble, Linen, and Dolphin. If anyone has more pics of these colors on a 911, that would be appreciated.

Linen




Dolphin




Marble

This is not the best pic, but I have seen a 911 in Dolphin custom order code 999 from the factory- it just does not seem to photograph well - but it is very cool in person - seems like different shades in different conditions - from blues to greys to a little green? - I know that doesn't help much

Here's Beige Grey and a Singer in a colour remarkably similar to that beige grey.

I just saw this color at Monterey. It's Fashion Grey. Can't make up my mind.

The linen and beige grays look like old tighty-whiteys that didn't get washed with bleach.

Fashion Gray (aka ModeGrau) is my favorite porsche color hands-down. I am jealous o that guys GT3! I knew a few of them had been PTS on that color, but damn! Also, there was a CarreraGT done in PTS ModeGrau that looks awesome. I am also a big fan of the GT350 Avalanche Gray and may get one as my DD (flame away lol) The second pic is an Avalanche Gray GT350 newt to a Fashion Gray GT3 off off renn

Seems like OP is leaning towards a beige cream of some sort.

The GT3 fashion grey looks like Coffee yogurt.

The 2nd photo with the Mustang looks great.
Overall, I am really liking these muted slate pastels or whatever you call it.

I went darker - agate grey but it's a metallic. Some of the lighter greys are nice too though.

It's metallic, but Dolomite Grey is one of my favorites.

Great color choices. I'm thinking of wrapping (vinyl) my Guards Red to a nonmetallic gray. I'm sure I won't have many choices of shades of grey.
Of your 3 finalists, I like Dolphin. The Linen and Marble have too much beige in it.
