Looks like red primer with clear-coat and grey primer with clear-coat.

Definitely the Fat Bob, I’m not sure if they count limited editions but the Electra Glide Highway King wasn’t there either.
To me the colors seem bland but the greys are popular so make what sells.

Colors that are "popular"? If you had a room full of butt-ugly girls to choose from, the least ugly would be the most "popular". But, that would not mean that she is good looking at all.
All of these "un-colors" have been shoved upon the American public for the last 50 years by the Asian and European auto makers.
It is a sick mentality.
Is it red? No, it is a sort of a red tinted mud, sort of.
Is it blue? If you look at the ash color in the right light, around the edges, it might reflect a kind of blue hue.
Green? Somewhere in the charcoal there is some green pigment.
Beautiful machine? Nah, some sort of bad-*** image machine, the same color as the asphalt and shadows, not easily seen by other death machine drivers coming at you or turning in front of you.

I've seen this vid yesterday, good news finally about the color on the FXLRS (red and blue) and on the ST (red), I found the colors so far a little sad...

is that off white and brown or burgundy with some blue? Nice old Evo but the colors do nothing for me. To each there own, I will stick with asphalt black.

I had to settle for what was on the bike. I did not make the selection of manufacture color for that year and model. If I had, it would be quite different.
Not everything that a person might purchase is the greatest that has ever been.
And not every woman that a man crawls into bed with is the most beautiful creature that ever walked.
