Garnet Ember: Too bright - almost a pink tint to the red. Would be good for some seriously spoiled teenage girl, but not for me.
Blue Slate: Nice color, very smooth. Car was a bit dirty so hard to really tell.
Platinum graphite: NICE! This was my favorite by far. Probably won't show dirt too bad and looks very refined - classy, if you will.
Didn't have any white, serengeti or others.

I did see Lakeshore Slate and although it is a unique color, its just not for me. Black Obsidian is Black Obsidian, nothing much more to say there. The colors that I really would like to see, Platinum Graphite, Blue Slate, Serengeti Sand, and Ivory Pearl, I have yet to see! Of course! I really would like to see first hand what Diamond and Platinum Graphites look like side by side.

Diamond Graphite (2003-2006)
Platinum Graphite (2007)
Differences are slight but evident. The platinum graphite is definitely darker. Of course keep in mind that in different lighting the colors will look slightly different.
inTgr8r and Jeff, hopefully you guys don't mind that I used these two pics. Jeff your M is absolutely gorgeous and the perfect example of DG.

I have DG now (Silverstone here), & test drove the PG.
It is just a tad darker... but also a little flatter looking.
It looks great, but it doesn't have quite as much metalic pop to it.

Would like to see Lakeshore Slate or Blue Onyx though.

With that said, the PG is one of my favorite colors on the 07' and had I not owned a silver shade right now (2nd in a row for me), I would have definitely picked the PG.

The posts above refer to Diamond Graphite as 2006 color, and Platinum Graphite as a 2007 colour.
The US web site indeed shows Platinum Graphite as a 2007 colour. But the Canadian web site (and the dealers colour chart ) shown only Diamond Graphite.
Is the Canadian 2007 Diamond Graphite = 2006 DG or 2007 PG ????

Infiniti likes to make it confusing with all these different name changes for color
