Did Apple lose the hex code for Space Gray?

Is this is the same Apple that ships a USB cable for their iPhones after removing the ports on their notebooks?

Clearly the fault of the owners of the devices. Their dirty hands making them darker.

They took the hex values from color picker off random photos they found on the net :3

Eh, space looks different depending on which direction you're looking anyway. Good enough I guess?
Works for me.
The 8 changes based on lighting.

Im sure Steve Jobs wouldnt give a shit as long as they sold.
There are no iPhone 7s in the image and the watch is not any lighter on the other sides

My iphone 6 and macbook pro touch are the same color but the 6 is more.. reflective? It basically changes more drastically depending on the angle. I assume they probably used a different painting process rather than a different color

Are you kidding?
There is a space gray and space black Apple Watch, iirc. The Gray is lighter than that.

Not exactly the best example. There are different shades of blue whereas Space Grey denotes a more specific colour. Either way, this is semantics.
Whats to say that Apple doesnt think there can be different shades of space gray? This is so inconsequential.
That's a "matte black" iPhone 7+ with the dual camera. Not Space Gray.
The Space Gray watch is pretty dark, yes. The Space Black watch is much darker.
Not to mention theyve evolved Space Grey over time. Like they do WITH EVERYTHING.

No. Have you seen some of the shit that came out on his watch?
Space Grey not being consistent is a lot less offensive than that stupid iTunes phone.
I thought the point of the image was to show that although the left devices can all be called grey, the iPhone on the right doesn't look grey at all.
Isn't made out of glass? Pretty sure that's an iPhone 8.
Absolutely not. They have to change the name somehow unless they want Steve to start rolling.
oh, ha, looks like you're right! at that angle and reflectivity, it looks hella similar to my iPhone 7+. I also didn't realize the 8 was being called "Space Grey"
FWIW, I do think it's a bit silly that Apple keeps using Space Grey to mean something like 5 different colors now.
May not look like gray, but it looks like space.

I paid a cool (huehuehue) $75 for 12 sets of cool grey markers, another $75 for warm greys, and $75 for neutral greys.
Worth it

It's probably a trick of the light, but the one on the right actually looks way more blue than gray to me.

Water is not wet!
Its the same Apple that advised customers to drop their Apple IIIs on a hard surface in the hope that the chips that came loose would re-seat themselves.
I'd even say this looks more space than all the others, so I'm not the one to start complaining.
Think he'd be more pissed with the antenna bands. At least space gray actually looks like "space gray" now.

Why cant Apple make an all black iPhone.
They did, there is a jet black 7.
And I'm holding a black iPhone 5 right now.

Don't production colors go by Pantone colors and not hex code?

It's space gray for darth universe.
Shit. Some of those posters should be ashamed of their lack of attention to detail. Steve Jobs would never have let this happen - he must be rolling in his grave right now

Depends on the type of system its being manufactured in. But no, not always.
The federal govement has its own color system for example.

The original space grey was just a way to use silver as a base after the black iphone 5's chipped to hell and back, I had one and those were prone to chipping because it was a coating.
The new space grey is how I would imagine it should look, old space grey was just silver with a wrong name.

You know what would make Steve roll in his grave? Making him watch a Samsung press congerence.
I work in print, and I only have formulas to recreate inks up to Cool Grey 11 Solid Coated, then there are uncoated inks.
There are also Warm Grey inks...

Literally the tan suit equivalent of bitching about Apple.
It is and it isn't. It's a tiny thing, but for a company that is always seen as the gold standard of tech design, it's a pretty big thing.
(this is in no way worse than the butt ugly new control center)
