galaxy grey is really similiar to ti grey. it's just a shade or two off.
and here is my approximation of what the phantom blue mica will look like, based off the p.b.m mazda5 on the mazda website.

That looks almost like teal to me... kinda the color of my previous car 
(and this photo doesn't really show the teal color, it's hue is a bit off - cheap camera)

from what i gather of the color, it is supposed to be somewhere between teal and montego blue that was offered on the FD.
if you want to get a really good idea, visit a mazda dealership and see if they have any phantom blue 5s on the lot. the mica paints really don't come across in pictures...especially in photoshop approximations based off of highlight/midtone/shadow colors on another car.

if the strato blue was available here, i'd have that instead of a brilliant black. hell, if they brought the strato blue over, there's a good possiblity i'd trade my car in for one, as long as it wasn't too much of a financial hit.

I don't know, in my Ti, I have people try hit me at full speed, coming right at me! I concluded they didn't see me when I was in plain sight (no trees, no corners to come from behind, a nice straight 5 lane artery road).
I now drive with my corner lights on any time near twilight!
Was pretty exciting a couple of times. If I wasn't in an RX-8 I would be shopping a new car now. The car is unflappable!

Galaxy gray is a cool tone shade of gray.
Not much difference in the darkness of the color, just the tone.
Titanium gray has more of an underlying tan-type color to it.
Galaxy gray has more of a blue tone to it.
