NICE PICS and clean car!
I've always viewed Tungsten as a dark silver with many colors mixed in. In darker light, it looks quite dark- almost fooled for Glacier Frost Mica when GFM is lit up. But overall, it's a nice silver.
One thing about the "washed car every week." I was always under the impression water is the enemy. It strips wax, fades and dries plastics, and cracks seals over time. What about wiping it down with a proper cloth once or twice a week? I have yet to wash my car and it's turning one next week. Then again it never rained last year here in SoCal.

With this color I can really go about 2 weeks before it gets dirty.
I think using the Z6 helps repel dust it stays cleaner longer.
cb804, those are great pics. The 1st and 3rd really show the true color.
The 2nd is like liquid glass. What I enjoy most is how the sun hits
certain spots and shines like in your first pic of the front bumper almost like a sun "glow".
