Polymetal changes throughout the day, and it fucks with your eyes, because you want to see grey, but the blue is just evident enough that you have a hard time telling if it is grey blue, or blue grey. Both colors are nice, but I went with poly/red interior in my RF.

A couple of years ago, I saw a gorgeous 2018 Mazda 6 Grand Touring in Machine Gray with the windows already tinted while getting my 2016 Mazda 6 Touring serviced. I had to have it. I get a lot of compliments on it. I love the how the Gun Metallic wheels almost matches the color of my car. I like the Machine Gray for the CX-30 as it hides the thick body cladding much better. As for the Polymetal Gray, I do like it on this Mazda 3 with it's black wheels and grill trim.

Just got the 2023 sedan. Is far from a boring gray. It definitely changes depending on the light. It's very reactive. On a sunny day it reflects the blue sky and white clouds brilliantly. In lower light it's much more of a normal subtle gray. It's one of the most unique colors I've seen.

I think it's going to pay off too! About a month until I get it!

As nice as the polymetal gray is, I am leaning toward the machine gray. I used to own an ice silver Subaru Outback, and I didn't like that most of the time the car looked light blue. I suspect the same thing might happen with the polymetal gray, and I wouldn't like it. My favorite Mazda color is the deep crystal blue. That's why our CX5 and our 3 are that color. It's unfortunate that Mazda doesn't offer it with a saddle brown interior combination in any of its models.

I originally went to buy the machine grey. It always looked the best online. The day I went to dealership it was overcast and dark skies. Everything that looked so appealing to the grey was gone. I realized in sunlight it's pretty nice but with dark skies it's so plain boring looking. Then a few cars over I saw the poly colored one w red seats and it just popped. It was gorgeous. I actually loved it so much i chose it over the machine grey that had more options bcs this color had lots of character. I've been getting compliments on tbe color from my friend and Co workers so I know it's not just me. I'm so happy I made this choice. In case anyone is wondering it continues to look just as striking in bright sunlight as well.

It's a shame the polymetal is only available on the hatchback and not the sedan. At least that's the case in my country. Don't know why Mazda decided on this because all the other colour options are available on both versions of the 3. The car looks great in red as well, but it's basicly the default colour where I live so I would like something different.

I know this is old but altho one would think tbe Poly would hide better that's not true.

The machine metal grey hides and blends well. I saw one very dusty and altho it wasn't shiny since so dirty you really couldn't make out any dust. Also the metallic flakes are so pronounced it can hide scratches within much better. That being tbe case the Poly is a very interesting color.

I am right now trying to choosing between these 2 colors for my Miata GT soft top. I think I prefer polymetal gray just a tiny bit over machine gray, but I like the double clear coat on the machine gray which not only adds depth, but should also make it a little more durable over time. That's not a huge factor because I plan to wrap the entire front end and rocker panels in PPF anyway. Both colors are available at 2 different dealers near me, I just have to make up my mind!

I stopped by dealer today because they forgot (me too) to get copy of what i signed. Got to talking with sales rep. Turns out just a bit ago one of his customers had to back out of his deal. He ordered same CX30 GT but in Polymetal Grey Metallic. The car is due in January or latest February 2023. (Mid Dec 2022 now) I said i am not picky about color. Just want car. So they allocated this car to me and saved me a few more months of waiting. So is reason ia m here checking out the colors. I must say i am liking this Polymetal Grey Metallic.
