TeckWrap Lizard Grey is a grey with a subtle green cast, finished in super matte. It is not a flat, neutral grey; the soft green in it gives the color more character while still reading as a grey.
This is the part that makes Lizard Grey worth a look. Depending on the light, it can read as a straight grey or show its green side. In flat or overcast light it sits closer to a neutral grey, and in sun, or next to greenery, the sage cast comes forward. Because the finish is fully matte, none of this turns into shine or reflection, so the color stays soft and a little understated either way. It is a grey for people who find plain grey boring.
Grey is a safe color, and the green cast is what keeps Lizard Grey from blending in with every other grey car. It looks especially good on trucks and SUVs, the 4Runner included, and it comes off cleanly later if you want a change.
