From FCA chat... "Sting-Gray Clear-Coat Exterior Paint Is a little lighter then the Destroyer Grey Exterior Paint. They do look very simpler but it is not the same gray."

That should put it closer to Toyota’s “Concrete” gray color. Which I’m cool with.

I guess I better go find a charger to look at. Some of these comments are making me second guess....it could just be that I'm eager to order and don't want to wait though.
I know you're talking in person

I'm with you on that. Toyota Concrete, Dodge Destroyer or something in between would work. No Anvil, Gobi, Tank type colors available for months or maybe even 2019. My last two have been Billet, I'm out on Red and Black. Thousands of Granites running around. Too old for Nacho or Punkin. That Green is just damn ugly. Out on Ocean Blue because well, I'm a male. So I ordered boring White. Cancelling that tomorrow and waiting on Sting-Gray. I know. Nothing more boring than Gray but it's a first time color and there won't be as many running around. Despite what the naysayers are saying it is nothing like Billet or Granite. It will end being the most unique of all the colors for 2018. Puts me to the back of the line but my orders only two weeks old so what the heck. The trouble will be Black hardtop or painted? I'm solid on painted fenders. Went Black top with the White but I'm thinking all painted will look sharp with just the clear coat, no metal flake paint. Planning on AEV Black Pinter wheels so in that case the Black top might be best. Plenty of time to figure that out. Gives time for the 2.0 turbo to become available as well.

I don't think sting gray is going to be anything near anvil. Anvil has a significant blue hue to it.
I have Anvil, don't see a " significant blue hue ". It's a Battleship gray, close to Sting Gray, the only "Blue" is the damn wait time for it

I have an Anvil JK and I definitely think there's a blue hue to it... there's also a slight slight slight greenish to it, too. It's like gray turquoise to me. The Sting Gray doesn't seem very similar IMO. I'd really like a JL in Rhino or Tank. Sting Gray look's too light for my taste. Probably going to be like the background of this forum. Haha.

I'm hoping it's not too light. Its between billet and sting for me....but I just don't want the same color as every other car on the road, or I'd pull the trigger on billet right now. At least Sting will be different.

I’d say the Destroyer Gray has much more of a tan hue in bright sunlight.

Destroyer and Anvil are very different. There's a good amount of yellow and a tad of red in Destroyer vs the tad of blue and green in Anvil. Sting Ray will apparently different than either so we'll just continue tearing our hair out, looking at Destroyer and Anvil, waiting for good good pictures of Sting Ray lol. If anyone has awesome photoshopping skills, can they take the color from the Mopar bead lock wheel Sting Ray ring and color a JL?
