None of the pictures are of the nebula grey, they are to bright
Some of the pictures might be of the satin silver. But the satin silver is a very bright silver color, with no other hint of grey or gold in it. And almost all the pictures display a silver color with various hints of grey or gold.

Therefor, it is most likely that all pictures are of the sonic titanium, and that the sonic titanium is color that changes shade a bit in diffrent kinds of light.
In addiotion, you can see that some of the pics are taken with poor quality cell phones, and that they are edited with effects for instagram or photshoped to look artificial..
Not sure if it was posted before. To add some more info for the Canadian market,

1J4 Silver Lining Metallic
1J7 Atomic Silver
1H9 Nebula Grey

Yeah it would be cool if this Atomic Silver was an F SPORT color. It looks really sharp. It's reminiscent to MKIV Supra's Quicksilver Metallic. Nebula Gray is actually darker and more red/purple in color.

That's false. The new F SPORT exclusive Ultra White is a three stage pearl just like Starfire Pearl. It's just not obvious in the photos because of how bright it is.

I admitted my mistake a few posts later.
I was informed that the white was a non metallic color, and took this info as true without checking it.
After checking the brouchure, it states in the brouchure that both white colors are metallic colours.

So what is the point of two pearl whites? Ultra is just whiter? Seems like both colors are close enough to be redundant. I can't think of another manufacturer that offers two pearl whites on one body.

bad if they dont have choice, bad if they have choice.

I cant understand what are you trying to say - are you against the choice of 2 different whites? And yes, they are substantially different whites.

In fact they have 2 different blacks and 2 different silvers... and yes, they are substantially different :-)))))

It's simple. I am not saying it's bad to have two whites. I am saying it's bad to have two PEARL whites. With all the disdain over no USB, every precious color matters. Having two pearl whites takes the space of having things like USB.

Further, if Ultra White is very light, having a pearl in it is barely going to be noticable unless you are right up to it (most of us already thought it was a non-pearl just from what we've seen). For that reason, 90% of people seeing it go down the road are probably not even going to notice it's a pearl. Waste. Again, with so much fuss over the loss of USB, doubling up on two pearl whites is a poor decision. We needed more selection and diversity.
