yes the gray at home depot is same as pewter, silver is brighter

even in the link when you choose 3d it gives color choices and gray/pewter as one choice cuz they're the same :thumbsup:

Sorry to contradict, qip, but Maglite's pewter is not the same as grey.

We've dissected the differences (with pics) over at the 2AA minimag collection threads.

HOW DARE YOU Contradict ME


i kid , i kid
:nana: how much color tint difference is there, did not know that

​

 

[qip]

found it...that is very subtle ...check the pic near bottom showing heads

 

[ElectronGuru]

There's also the difference between 'official' colors and 'I call it...' colors. Many look at gray (myself included) and call it pewter.

HOW DARE YOU Contradict ME

Yeah, it's a subtle difference. I'm with EG; I gotta double-check almost every time. So for practical purposes, they might as well be the same.

Clear as mud, heh, qip? :nana:

I thought we decided that gray and pewter are the same with the sole exception of the unknurled "pewter" that was sold by actionlights. :thinking: All the knurled gray and pewter AAs I have seen have been the same color. Migs, even in your post, you call your light "gray/pewter". :shrug:

I have a pewter body coming,and I will try my gray head on it and let you know,thanks.

Yup, that's the difference I was thinking about.

Thank you, 3rdRock :wave:



Perhaps 6 months ago, i saw a 2-D Copper Maglite at Target.
( i was searching for a Copper-colored Mini-Maglite )


The only Copper one on the shelf.


Held it in my hand.


Gave it a LOT of thought.



Finally decided not to buy.


" Why would i wanna' buy a 2-D cell Maglite ? ? ? "

" Even if it IS in Copper, my favorite Mag color "

I want one,but it would cost as much to ship as it does for the light.

Yes there is a slight difference,you may not notice it unless you where told.

Pewter to me is kind of a darker grey.

But if you are Fenix, gold is the new 'orange' in the E01 case.
