I think Mercedes does the best silvers but it wasn't until the GS Sportdesign I started to like the dark gray on cars. Lexus then brought Flint Mica into play and wow, what a color!!

probably the same color but for some reason, the grey on the IS300 is my favorite. I'd love to have that color on my GS.

Are we talking all brands? Here are a few, I have like... a million more if you want them. Fwiw, my favorite grey is Porsche's "Atlas Grey", followed by Audi's "Dolphin Grey". Flint Mica is very nice too, as is BMW's Sparkling Graphite and the old Steel Grey.

I totally agree with you that M-B , easily, does the best silver (not surprising, since they first pioneered silver paint jobs, more than any other manufacturer), and even today silver is considered the classic M-B color. More M-B products are sold in that color than anything else.

But, in general, I don't understand the current obsession with both light and dark gray with so many vehicles (some manufacturers offer several shades of gray on the same vehicle, at the expense of others). I've often been criticized for being too Grandpa-like and conservative in my auto tastes, but not in paint colors....I'd like to see more distinctive colors on a lot of vehicles that don't have them now. I find gray, in general, to be not only dull, boring, and funeral-home like, but also a very low-visibility color that tends to make the car blend in with the gray asphalt road surface around it.....and fog/low clouds in damp weather. That used to be a problem and often caused accidents in the days before DRL's (Daytime Running Lights) helped address that problem...at least from the front.
