How do you describe Cerium Gray?

So I'm attempting to describe Cerium Gray and all I can think of is matte gray with a slight copper tint. Is there a generic color name that is more familiar?

My wife calls it "matte brown" hates it and had me take it all off her M40i and ended up with this.

I like it, depending on the exterior colour of the car.

I think it works very well with Glacier Silver and Phytonic Blue.

It's basically the colour and texture of a 'Space Grey' Apple MacBook.

I like it, but it is a bastard to keep clean looking as it water marks very easily. It works better with dark colored paints.

The thing is though, you don't have to like Cerium Grey because BMW signed off on it or persevere with it because it's unique to the M40i. Manufacturers often fit awful looking trim, wheels etc on the better models and I just swap out what I don't like even if it's off the base model and looks better to me.

I've kept the Cerium Grey bits I took off and will probably refit it for originality when it's time to upgrade the car.
