I'm surprised you say it is lighter than Magnetic Grey. I think it is quite a bit darker. But the color is very subtle -- it ranges from a basic dark grey to deep blue, deep purple, and almost black.

I haven't noticed any metallic flakes -- I guess it must have some if part of its name is metallic! (is it?)

Magnetic Grey is quite dark. Rivals Flint Mica imo. Winter Grey... maybe Phantom Grey Pearl?? or Moon Shadow Mica in terms of lightness??

I don't know. They call everything metallic or pearl now.

I really like the winter gray in person. It is very classy and does have depth - definitely an interesting gray.

I choose the blue ribbon metallic. It is just a really cool color, also with a lot of depth for a blue.
