Comparison: Cactus Gray vs. Toyota Cement Gray

[vintage]

Here's a pic of my Cement Gray TRD Pro side by side with my Sting Gray Rubicon. Both great colors. Plan on Parking my Cactus Gray FE Bronco in the third bay. 3 shades of Gray should be plenty for me.

Funnily enough Toyota has a new color called ‘Lunar Rock Metallic’ as the special color for the TRD Pro line. It looks really similar to Cactus Grey, check it out on the 4Runner:

This is the closest thing I’ve seen to it.

I don't think it will look anything like Toyota's cement or any of the other enamel grays out there. TBH if I had to pick a color I think it will be most similar to it would be Subaru's Cool Gray Khaki.

It doesn’t look anything like these in person.

Want to check out a color database? Try Porsche Club's "Rennbow" (https://www.rennbow.org/colorwiki). Lots of the cool non-metallic colors back in the 50's and 60's - more metallics as time goes on. Two of my personal faves are Oslo Blue and Smyrna Green. Enjoy!

Leadfoot is probably Ford’s closest color to Toyota’s cement grey. Nardo grey is darker, sting grey is darker and almost has a slight brownish tint to it in certain light.
Cactus is unique for sure. The very slight green tint is there but you don’t always see it. The CGI pictures of cactus make it look much more green than it is in person. Like Dale..er..Rusty Shackleford said, Toyota’s lunar rock is the closest thing I’ve seen.

I hope it comes out like cement gray....looks a lot more green to me.

If Cactus Grey is a more of a green than grey like some of these picks then I am going to need to cross it off my list. I think it looks bad in the pic you posted but has looked good in other pics (more muted and not as green). If I can't see color in person before ordering I will go back to my boring black or white.

Sting gray is lighter than Leadfoot but darker than cement. I've had mine a year and never noticed a brown tint. More of a slight greenish hue in certain light.

Cactus gray looks like a Seafoam Green Fender guitar from the 60s. That’s a good thing. Retro color.

Hmm, that’s not the color that showed up in google when I was looking for a sample. At any rate, cactus is an interesting color that is different from anything I’ve ever seen. It isn’t nearly as green as it looks in some pictures.

It's one of those colors that looks different depending on the light. That pic is in direct sunlight. Other times it looks way darker. Overcast is when it gets a greenish hue.

Cactus Gray is definitely peaking my interest the most. My last vehicle was an SQ5 in Quantum Gray (similar to Nardo).

I think ill go with CG if Velocity Blue isn't available right away.

I swear Ford and Toyota share paint buckets with Toyota’s usually being a couple shades darker. Ford had Terrain, Toyota had quicksand. Ford has lead foot, Toyota has Cement. Ford has Cactus, Toyota has lunar rock...
