As expected, and according to the Law Of The Universe, the wife is correct.

I'm a printer with lots of ink experience. The color is grey and it may have
a touch of green in it. Where do you draw the line, even using a densitometer?
The perception of some colors depends upon the color temperature of the light
reflecting off of it. Some lights are redder, some bluer. It does make a
difference.
Have you ever been tested for color blindness or color deficiency? Women
carry
the gene but aren't affected by it. Men are.     Geoff, K6TFZ

I definitely think it's grey. I don't think there is a touch of green in it at all.. but that is my opinion. A densitometer would probably answer that question. I have one here, perhaps I can bring the K2 into work and check it out?!

I wonder if anyone out there has customized their k2 cases and changed their color? Interesting thought...

The same issue came up when the Pennsylvania Railroad painted their GG-1 locomotives "Brunswick Green". Allegedly the mix was one drop of green paint to one gallon of black.

There's also the recipe for a "very dry martini" where the bartender simply looks at the bottle of vermouth while pouring the gin (or is it the other way around?)

The straight answer: It's gray. A very nice shade of gray, not too light, not too dark, not too glossy, not too flat.
