Default graphite gray vs classic gray

Does anyone know how these two colors look next to each other?

check out the color samples on the link below. Graphite grey was explained to me today as being very dark, just a few shades lighter than black. The sample on the below site, does not confirm that.

Anyway, best I could do...good luck.

You also have to figure that these cars are now 13-17 years old so there may be some color fade...variance in the same color may actually be more than between different colors, especially for cabs. Ran into the fade issue when I was trying to match carpetting for a RSD kit.

Thanks guys! Magdaddy, I looked at the link and it confirms what I thought: not much different from each other (even considering the fade issue, David.) I am trying to buy a shift **** +boot from a 996 that is listed as graphite grey and am hoping I can get away with the color being a bit different. Worse case scenario, I'll dye to match. Thanks again.
