My bro swears xB comes in DARK gray paint! Pic inside!
My TCM xB is set to arrive tommorrow in Lake City, Florida. I'm picking her up Wednesday. What color is the xB in the background? My bro swears it's gray. No gray on scion web site....
He said there is a gray one at the local dealership.

No, its Black Sand Pearl.
I owna BSP 5spd xB, and I swear it looks grey in the sun.. Its just the type of pearlescent paint that is mixed in. Its a Black gloss paint, with a hint of a grey-ish brown sand paint, and then the gloss coat. Only in direct sun, does it look like grey.. :D
the camo looks grey too sometimes...
its the pearlescent paint mixed in I guess...lol
LATE.

It's black sand pearl
I am 99% sure that the color your bro is talking about is Black Sand Pearl. I own an XB that is the same color, and when I bought it, I thought it was dark gray as well. When I got home, it turned out to be black with a little bit of gray pearl. I thought it was dark gray because when I saw it at the dealer, it was parked in the bright sun... and I loved the color.

Looks like Camo to me.
Theres no way its black sand pearl because the dark blue tC is a lighter color than black is so the blue would look weird if the black one looked grey, but the blue one looks perfectly normal. The xB is only a foot away from it so its not like its way in the back.

I didn't get black because it doesn't actually look BLACK, just dirty black or very dark gray. So, regardless of what's in the picture above, the brother is fair in saying xBs come in dark gray. Even though the official name has "black" in it, it's really gray.
