I seen each color now. I was interested in the sterling gray. The Nimus is a darker gray. The sterling is a lighter color gray and seems to shine brighter. Both good colors. I definitely like it. I also like the dark cherry.

I agree with the gray/green. I honestly would have perfered it to be silver/gray. When I was looking for my RL I was stuck between gray and black but I have had a black truck before and man was it work! The dealer also had the gray in stack and I saw it at night which makes it more gray. I know I didn't like the red and the silver was too common in this area. Of the colors that the RL came in for 08 I think I would make the same choice again.

Does anyone have a side to side comparison?

only problem with nimbus gray is you cant find touch up paint at the auto store you have to get it from honda

I didn't know that. I wonder if you can ebay it? Has anyone used the touch up paint they give your for the bed? I have so many scratches that I don't see the point anymore, then again I am of the "it's a truck" mentality and have a cover :)

they got it on ebay for $19-$21, i just use back to black for the bed, it doesnt work but it makes the bed all shiny so you cant tell (and it makes the bed very slippery) but i rarely use it as a truck
