I am not a billiard pro or even any good at billiards, but I have not seen a billiard ball that is gray. I think someone at Harley Davidson is trying to snooker us into thinking it is a real colour in billiards.
It should be renamed for what it is, Shop Floor Gray.

 

Ha good point. While I think the grays look nice. I think little boring too. I think they will end up dated. So many cars, cross overs, SUVs, and harleys are gray last few years. Granted I have a black bike, and think it is timeless. So my opinion is what it is.

But I think we will look back at these sorta flat gray bikes as 2020 thing I suspect. Not that there is really anything wrong with that.

 

US Navy surplus...

 

If Harley says “Billiard” it just means no flake in the paint. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

 

The H-D paint naming department deserves a lifetime achievement award. They make colors sound magical - Whiskey Neat, Snake Venom, Midnight Crimson...

I had to match the paint on my '22 FXLRS salvage project. "Gunship Grey" is way sexier than "2010 Volkswagen Minivan Gray" which was a perfect match.

 

Primer Grey

 

I was wondering how to say that. I figured there had to be better word than non metallic. Though problem is few know what you mean, which is why $10 words have no value.

Personally I like metallic gray more. Again I don't think the cross overs, SUVs and such look bad.

 

Primer gray is flat though, right?

 

Another possible name for this depressing colour could be “Cloudy Day Gray”

 

True, that would be Denim Grey. 🤣
