Flint Gray?

Tectite Gray has been discontinued and is replaced by Flint Gray in MY05, does anyone have pics of this color? Tectite looks stunning w/ Ash leather... I just wanna see what Flint looks..


Thanks

I have seen the color chips

I saw large color chips for flint grey and a new color I never heard of called steel grey. The flint is lighter than tectite and the steel is darker. The flint is very flat, like granite without the blue in it. The steel comes off mighty close to black on the chip (although it will lighten up on an entire car). Of the two, I prefer steel grey, but I have no idea which cars Mercedes will offer it on.
