I think the IS in this extremely photoshop-retouched picture is so full of "artistic" reflections from the ceiling (or sky?), the wall and the road, that its original color just doesn't matter anymore. It's one of those darker colors for sure though.

the pix was either shot or altered with a blue filter--look at the blue wheels; so it can be any color (except white and red). I would say probably granite.

with that photo does it really matter what color it is? I would hope someone would not base there decision of buying this car based on that photo. it's not even a real world photo.
