That looks more like the new pearly white which is available as one of the special colours in Japan. Thats not Sebrng Silver as I know it.

Nope, much too light. Sebring Silvers have some variance in hue, but I've never seen one this light.

Tifosi,

You may be right about your photo, but I'm not convinced!

Why? Firstly, it looks like silverstone and secondly it's a 2001 model (amber side repeater!)

Could be a bit of a laugh when my sebring turns up - God knows what it looks like!

Me bad (or just dumb)! I'm thinking silverstone (my car). Don't know what Sebring silver will look like. Sorry.

Sorry Mr. Biscuit - shows what I know, I only owned a Sebring Silver car for 5 years!

Slightly seriously, I guess what it does show (other than that I haven't got a clue what I am talking about) is that it is very difficult to accurately render colours on photographs presented on computer screens (2 sources of colour 'corruption' straight away). If I look at the (Pearl White) picture on my Sun UNIX workstation screen it looks much darker than on my pc laptop. That's my alibi!

Sorry for the miss info
