US MR "Graphite Gray Pearl"

Does any one know if the USDM MR paint color "Graphite Gray Pearl" is exactly the same as the UK and the JDM Evolution MR.

I have photos of the USDM MR from the California meet and Mitsu web site, photos of the UK MR and photos of the JDM MR and all three paint colors look different.

I understand the lighting is all different - but I can't help but think they are different, with different names, etc.

Can anyone confirm this or provide additional info??

First, they're just the same car with a chopped color. For instance, all the press shots show a dark-colored spoiler on the MR, but it doesnt in the configurator.

Graphite Gray Pearl is the color for 05. For 04 however, was the Gray Mica, which I would've preferred hands down over Graphite Gray, because it had a color-shift tendency under certain lighting conditions.

i don't know for sure, but i think our gray is different from the euro one...like the guy said above, the euro gray is a gray mica... has a purplish tint up close like the '03 black evo. i think ours is a titanium pearl-like paint job similar to the eclipse's, but i could be wrong. maybe they just changed the name but no the paint job.
