It's a dark, dusky green. I love the color. My car has always looked more green than gray to me. My previous car was a graphite gray BMW. That color was mostly gray. Some people thought that car had a purple tint to it. It did, but only in certain lighting conditions.

A lot of the EG photo's to me have a slight green/brown cast. I went to a car show and under the indoor lighting it looked very dark gray(I didn't see any green). When I took a picture of it with my iPhone I saw some green in it, and I was like hmmmm. So that's why I was asking people who own the EG if they notice some green in it. I went to the dealer and looked at a couple EGs but it was very overcast and wasn't showing the color very well, so I learned nothing from that trip.

Anyone other EG owners want to chime in on this, do you see some green in the EG? I'm interested in how many people see dark gray only vs. those that see some green in EG.
haha, okay SuperGreg. Don't be
be 
. And as I wrote you before, I love the color of your car(some green or not!). 
Thanks to everyone for the replies. It's interesting people do see it differently. I know a lot has to do with the lighting and maybe with the eyes of those viewing it. I do find it interesting that NewCooperFanatic has had many people think his is green. I, also, like the tinge of green I've seen in some photos.

One thing I've notice when its cloudy or with reduced lighting the EG looks black, reference fchris's picture.
I'm getting a JCW EG/B R56 (see signature). I'm getting the sport stripes as pictured, what I want to do is highlight them with another color. I'm considering either a dark silver or chili red, no I'm not doing green. LOL! Anyone else have any ideas? Ideas and opinions are much appreciated!

Not so much anymore. Some ******* decided to throw an egg at it while it was parked outside the house tonight. Good thing I'm going out, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed till tomorrow. I went thru the carwash already, but I'll give her a good wash tomorrow.
