Created using a revolutionary  thin-film technology, each flake exhibits a wide range of hues depending  on the angle at which it is viewed and the angle of incidence of light \u2013  a dramatic color shift that is even achievable in low-light  environments. Highly chromatic, durable and easy to incorporate,  ChromaFlair pigments can add value and appeal to virtually any product  where color is a key differentiating factor.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thunder Gray ChromaFlair is a medium gray metallic that can appear to have a blue or green tint in different lighting conditions.\u00a0 In any case it is a conservative, elegant color.\u00a0\u00a0 But deeper and more complex than a simple gray.\u00a0 It is a subtle, refined mix of colors that suit the Cadillac line well.\u00a0 The shift is subtle, but Cadillac Owners do report having difficulty finding their car on occasion, or not recognizing their car as they approach it due to the color shift.<\/p>\n<p><em>ChromaFlair<\/em> is a registered trademark of JDS Uniphase  Corporation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite current Cadillac colors is Thunder Gray ChromaFlair.\u00a0 Cadillac has a summary ChromaFlair site here.
