Magnetic grey, hints of the MK7 night blue? Under artificial light it sometimes looks like night blue?

To my eyes it’s closer to Dark Iron Blue than Night Blue, although the lighting will be a big factor in the appearance of specific colours.

Ah yes, was dark iron ever available in Europe?

Sorry, I don’t know if it was available in Europe, but AI suggests it was. Dark Iron Blue was exclusive to the mk7.5 Golf GTI and GTD (certainly in the UK; don’t know about elsewhere) and it replaced Carbon Grey.
2020 Polo GTI Plus; Pure White, DSG (because they all are)
Gone but not forgotten;
2016 Polo GTI; Blue Silk
2011 mk6 Golf GTD; Carbon Grey
2007 mk5 Golf GT (2.0 170bhp TDI version); Deep Black Pearl
2002  mk4 Golf GTI (the 150 bhp diesel version); Deep Black Pearl

Call from the dealer, the official UK launch is Fri 6th, 7th and 8th test drives will be available on these days (and I guess going forward).

He couldn't tell what models they were getting (Style, Launch, Life)
