It's just a smokey black/gray, very OEM and natural-looking, not purple/orange/green like Huper and others. No experience with 3M so I can't comment on that.

And FYI 35% is dark enough for great heat rejection and an aesthetic improvement without being so dark that the tint draws attention to itself and pulls focus from the rest of the car's styling; it blends in and just looks like it belongs there.
I thought about HO, but decided not to due to the green hue that I noticed. I opted for pinnacle f1 as well. 87% windshield, 20% front, and 5% back. If I had a choice to do it again, I would go 35% front and not 20% as it's a little on the darker side (not legal here in CA). I'm used to the 5% in the back.

Never had an issue with Comfort Access.

GL OP.
