 Can anyone explain to me the difference between the colours Storm Grey and Fulminator Grey, please? I had it in my mind (see my sign-off) that my car is Storm Grey (I'm sure someone told me that or I read it somewhere when buying the car last year) but looking at the paint code on the door pillar label I see that it is EYPC which corresponds in the table on this Forum to Fulminator Grey. The code for Storm Grey isn't in the table so I can't cross-check that way. The two colours are present in the pictures above the table and look pretty similar - what actually is the difference (which is lighter/darker)? Can anyone tell which mine is from the avatar picture alongside? My car's build date is 11/05/2007. Cheers FCM

 Storm Grey and Fulminator Grey are probably one and the same - the verb 'fulminer' in French means 'to thunder forth' which I'm sure you'll agree could also be translated as 'to storm'.
Code, as you say, is EYPC.

 These two colours are the same, English and French name.

Not necessarily so. My first C5 was 'Gris Orage'or Thunderstorm Grey.
Having said that, my second one was 'Cool Mint', not the 'Icelandic Green' I thought I had bought!

 Shaun is correct Fulminator Grey is the same as Storm Grey. I used to have a C5 in Icelandic Grey - it looked more pale blue than grey to me!
