Search the forum for thunder and you should see a few pics. You're right though. It's a colour that can look like a dull grey one second, then almost a bright light blue another. Depends on the ambient light. I'm really pleased with the colour personally. It works well the all the black trim on R Design.

I love the white.. but it seems everyone else does too so I thought I'd go for something different (oh and it was cheaper).

If Volvo had have offered a flat red I'd have maybe gone for that.

I think it is a bit of a Marmite colour. Not one I like personally as I think it's wishy washy and prefer a proper metallic grey but that's been dropped. We all like different things of course.

As already said it varies greatly dependent on ambient light. We ordered ours unseen having originally wanted an Osmium Grey car, very happy with it...

I have Thunder Grey, although not my first choice - I would have chosen Bursting Blue but there were other opinions in the house along the lines of "too bright", "too loud" etc.

So, having settled on Thunder Grey as the "inoffensive" choice I am quite happy with it and...

... I've never heard the words "nice colour" as much as I have with this car. Everybody likes it!

I also bought Thunder Grey colour sight unseen. When I picked up the car I was very pleased, and like gt40 have received many complimentary comments.

This is metallic color, it changes under certain lighting conditions - natural/fluorescent, morning/evening
