Default How do Sebring Silver and Silverstone Metallic differ??

I'm about an inch from purchasing my S2000 and am curious how these two colors differ --

-- it seems everyone prefers the Silverstone Metallic, but why?? I've only seen it on a 2000 Insight, and I quite liked it.

Any input is appreciated --

Eric

The Silverstone is a darker shade than the Sebring. I prefer Silverstone, but to each his own. The Sebring is more "silver" while the Siverstone is a little more "gray", but they are both fairly close. Of course, I am color blind, so take what I say with caution.

txst said it, Silverstone is metalic grey and Sebring is silver.
The Silverstone was such a nice unique color, and with the 2-tone black/red interior it was stunning!

I have a Sebring and personally wished I had a GP White but Sebring is good for me. It is a light silver similar to the Mercedes silver. You'll really have to look hard to see swirls if you can find any at all. It doesn't shine like the darker colours but even when it is really dirty, it seems relatively clean. I think 70% of all the S I see are one of the silvers.

You should post those pics of your car and mine side by side.
