Battleship Gray Graphics on 19

So, I'm in the final sprint to build sheet due date on the 23rd. Down to graphics color. Thinking battleship Gray with white belly band. Anyone have photos of the BS gray graphics? Opinions also welcome 😁 Also considered black and dark red. Thinking I would like understated but not boring. Thanks!! Oh, TV is white.

We ordered Battleship grey to match our truck and will be installing this light grey belly band for contrast. We do not have our trailer yet but I do believe that these picture are of the Battleship grey.

We have the Battleship Grey graphics on our 19 and like them very much. We also have received compliments on them.

I’ve seen a few battleship grey graphics and always think they look pretty classy. The grey belly band I have not seen but the picture looks good to me.

$18 Canadian for 100 feet of light grey belly band gives me two applications on a 19 should it fade or crack in years to come. Also will have the black original band if a new owner wants that. ETI wanted $50 to upgrade to white.
If I did not have a dark grey truck I might have gone with one shade lighter on the graphics just to be a little closer to the belly band.
Keep in mind that you don’t have to have the side graphics installed or the words or any combination not installed. What is not installed they will give you to take home for the next owner...no charge...just as a general note to others.

We did battleship gray on our 17A, to match our tow vehicle, Toyota Tacoma. Looks great, have gotten good comments.

We have Battleship Gray on our 19. We like it, but it is more subdued than one might imagine. When one thinks about a battleship, the color is much more obvious than you find with just the Escape graphics. You're not seeing a large expanse of gray.

Here's another data point, for reference:
We went with 'Slate Grey', (the lightest grey), with the white belly band. The graphics are subtle in bright light, much more prominent in low light.

In the Avery 900 series, you may also want to look at "Pewter" which is what I chose for my 19. Jim Bennett has this color on his 5.0. There is an upcharge from Escape for using this but it was worth it to me.

Here is ours with the Battleship grey graphics, shortly it will be more of a oak pollen yellow color.
I choose the steel wheels with the plan being to find wheels that matched our truck. But ended up liking the steel wheels so we kept them.

Ah, I like that! Thanks! Fits nicely between the Battleship Gray and the Slate Gray. Going to ask ETI about the upcharge.

That is a classy look and a color I would not have thought about using. Thanks for the photos!

Sorry for being a little off topic but I have to ask.
Wetzk did you install the trim around everything and do you find it better with it. If you have explained this in a link some where I would like to see it.
Thanks

So, after cutting and pasting several color swatches side by side for comparison, I ended up with the Pewter! Close contest with the Dark Gray but Pewter edged out the win despite the upcharge. Thanks again for the tip!
