Agate Grey Metallic

Agate Grey Metallic is one of the defining grey metallics of the modern Porsche era — a medium-dark charcoal grey with complex, mineral depth at #898785 that shifts convincingly between warm and cool depending on lighting. Named after the agate gemstone, its nuanced quality rewards close attention: in shade it reads as a composed, sophisticated charcoal; in direct sun the metallic flake opens and the color takes on a warmer, more dimensional quality. Code M7S has been in standard production from 2010 onward across essentially the entire Porsche lineup, and with 73 documented community examples it is one of the most widely photographed colours in the database. The color's particular fame in the enthusiast community stems from its appearance on 991.1 GT3 RS builds via PTS — where its restrained, mineral character provides a compelling alternative to more vivid GT colors.
