I tracked down two Rangers in Cactus Grey. As everyone has mentioned, it is a very difficult color to photograph, but to my eye it is a flat "military jet fighter grey" that has a clear coat. I didn't see a hint of green or blue in the color. I think the clearcoat is what is throwing off cameras.
In the first two images, my shirt is green, but closer to slightly light forest green. My watch is a Casio GA-2110ET that has a rubber flat grey band, a darker grey bezel and the face is the same color as the band, but the crystal gives it almost a clear-coat look. In person, I would say Cactus Grey is closest to the watch face color because of the clearcoat.
This image is in direct sunlight at about 6pm.
This image is in the shadows
This image is in the shadows and the front trim piece that boarders the paint is carbonized grey.
The interesting thing for me was that I did not like the contrast between the Cactus Grey and black/carbonized grey fenders and trim pieces. In this picture it appears that the fender blends into the tire, but in person the contrast between the paint and the trim really stands out.
I much preferred Cactus Grey when it had matching fenders and trim pieces, which was a surprise. This last picture is terrible, was shot through a tinted window and color adjusted, but gives you some idea of what I am talking about. So, those folks going with a non-sasq Cactus Grey Outer Banks have something to look forward to.
I am still hunting for a Cyber Orange.
