A medium-dark metallic grey with a cool, slightly blue-shifted neutral character — occupying the territory between mid-grey and near-dark without committing fully to either — Dark Meteor Grey Metallic (Dunkel Meteorgrau Metallic, code Z7H) is available as a PTS color across Porsche's modern lineup with no standard-catalogue model-year window in the Stuttcars database. The hex #9E9D9F confirms a genuinely mid-grey without strong warm or cool bias. The 'meteor' naming suggests a color with brightness potential — some meteor shower descriptions note the cool blue-white flashes of color that characterize bright streaks, consistent with a metallic grey that activates under light. The rarity score of 4 places it among the more selectively ordered PTS greys, below the very popular options like Chalk and GT Silver but above the truly rare unicorn entries.
