BOULDER GRAY Nissan Z Color Pics & Club

[because_murica]

I can think of one possible reason, "pearl" is not a word they want associated with the Z, too feminine for a sports car.

Doubt it. Everest White is officially Everest White Pearl Tricoat.

Missed that, flush that reason down the crapper lol.

Boulder Gray Nissan Z Performance Trim.

For the record, while I have not seen the new Z in Boulder Gray in person, like I said, I have seen Boulder Gray on a new Frontier. Based on what I've seen of the color, the above photo is the closest to what I recall the color looked like in person - in other words, not very blue at all.

Still meh. There's so many better primer colors Nissan could've used. I've actually seen a few recently that I almost like, specifically on an Audi and a Kia.

There is in fact pearl:

Pearl is super clear here:

So similar to Honda’s sonic pearl grey

We need more pastel colors on cars. All this black, white and shades of silver mess is played out and boring.

Leave the pastel to Easter eggs.

I know it's been said before, especially by me, but I think this car would benefit greatly from a spectrum of earth tones. British racing green, a deep blue or even purple, a muted sea foam green, some kind of bronze or gold even. Probably why I'm so excited about Rosewood—reminds me of Palisander Metallic on 80s Porsches.

Not to say I don't love the blues and reds and yellows we're getting, and I'm still really bullish on Boulder, but curious what else Nissan has up its sleeve (if anything) for later year models. Or, what folks end up doing with custom paint, wraps, etc.

I saw it in person at the Chicago car show, it is very impressive in person and a color that is near the top of my list.

Big facts.

I would love to see something similar to Oslo Blue on the Z.

That is sweet, maybe a wrap in that color. It would really show the lines too.

Sea foam would be cool. I've always loved teal as well and think it would look good on the Z.

I probably said before, bring back the Z family colors over the 50+ years - BRG, gold, Sunset Orange, Daytona Blue, etc. - you could have twins in the garage, old and new.
