Default Identification Colour

Hi
I am trying to identify the colour of a 2018 Harley Davidson fat boy and unfortunately not having must success despite contacting my local HD dealership, they did sort of confirm the colour is Industrial Grey, but didn't seem confident. Please see the attached photos of the colour I am trying to find the paint code for, I compared it to photos of another Harley in a Industrial grey, they don't seem compatible to me, in my opinion it seems more of a flat grey and not the glossy look in the photo.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Andy R

Here are the 2018 paint codes. Two gray colors. Industrial Gray & Industrial Gray Denim.

If it is flat looking then it may be Denim.

Hi Coolbreeze
Thank you for the quick reply to my message, its very much appreciated.
I have had a look on the paint code link and the photo of the Harley Davidson at the bottom of the page in my opinion looks a more matt finish compared to glossy grey in the attached photos. I am at work at the moment, but when i get chance i will have a more detailed look.
Many Thanks
Andy

The "matte" color is the Denim "version" of the color. Industrial Gray is Gloss. Industrial Gray Denim is a "matte" finish to it.

The HD dealer can look up the color per VIN.

Hi Thefactorymatch
Sorry for the late reply to your email, just started a new job and its been a manic few days. Thank you for the information concerning identifying the colour name of the attached Harley Davidson photos. Can i assume the colour name is definitely Industrial grey? Is this colour available to purchase from HD and if not do you know how I can access the paint code?
Many Thanks
Rudgie

No worries, your HD dealer should be able to get you the paint/code.
