If you are thinking in shades of grey, then Silverstone would be "light grey", Synchro would be "medium gray" and Moonrock would be "dark grey. Anyway the Synchro Silver colour code is NH-745M. I understand there is also a colour called Chicane Silver. Y'all in the US get a lot more colours; here in Canada we only get the basics - Berlina Black, Formula Red, Indy Yellow Pearl, Platinum White Pearl, Synchro Silver Metallic, and Apex Blue Pearl.
Synchro is also not as warm as Silverstone. I had a scrap fender sprayed in Moonrock and Synchro to compare it to my Silverstone before I did the repaint.

It's not noticeable in photos, but it's definitely a shade darker/cooler .

I have the 08, and in my year they called it "Black Pearl Silver"

It looks very similar.

There's so much discussion about the various silvers. I've compiled an image that shows the difference between the four "silvery" colours - Sebring, Silverstone, Synchro/Chicane and Moonrock.

Here's my S (Chicane)





My car on the left with a SS on the right. My lip is SS for reference.

Chicane Silver looks really good in person. I still want to trade mine in for one!

And it's about time someone started a CS thread!

It's got more blue flake, and slightly darker. You can only tell if you park one right next to the other...

Pics!
