The 2nd so called real life photo is not even close to the poplar grey that I saw. This photo depicts dominant brown tones, instead of dominant grey for the actual trim.
Well for what it's worth, when I saw Gray Poplar just the other day, it looked more like the "real life photo" than anything else. It definitely came across to be as a dark, muddied brown than gray.

Maybe people just have different perceptions of the color. The fact that they outright call it "Gray" probably doesn't help either.
