Arrow can someone tell me a paint color??

I was driving home tonight and seen a 2013/2014 I believe it was a gs but I could not get close enough to it. At any rate it ess a silver with a purple tint. If you know the color could you please post a pic of it along with the paint color. It looked beautiful.

Silver on a GS of that year is called Liquid Platinum (1J2) or if it was a darker gray Nebula Grey Pearl (1H9) or Meteor Blue Mica (8W3) or Deep Sea Mica (8V3)

(In order as listed)

That's an ES350, not GS. And they don't have any purple tinted colors.

That looks like the basic silver.

A couple of years ago, there was such a color. Moonstone Mica or something like that.

That's the same Liquid Platinum color I posted in the first picture. No purple though, perhaps some purple signage was nearby.

The previous gen (2007-2012) ES350 had this color, Moonshell Mica, for a short time. I don't think it sold very well and was replaced with another color after one or two model years. If you searched that name, I'm sure you could find pictures of the color - If that's the one.
