Well I saw the gen, a friend of mine has it, and I can tell that its not the color alone under cold white indoor light, its more the glossy shades that gens have. thats what missing, if i am right, no?
Looks really good on your picture, when did you buy this version? I thought grey is to dark

Yes the grey is too dark on the stock rep. It’s just the lighting in this picture that made the grey part kind of pop.
The rep looks almost all black most of the time. You can see a grey tone in some lighting.
I bought the rep when it was first released.

I agree.. a friend of mine also has this in gen and its that glossy almost translucent look that I'm sure is difficult to replicate. But once you see it, you know.
