Don't worry, it's the same for me when I took pics of my dark purple SC430

Hi again,

nice tints!, just enough if you ask me! Thanks for the pictures!

We have now been hit with the first UK TV advertising & Topgear has finally got the first UK press review online:-
http://www.topgear.com/jsp/individua...Number=07.html

The car in the UK advert is ..... Caspian Sky aka Glacier Frost Mica! - although it's difficult to tell!

Cheers

I agree - looks silver to me. However, that's quite a positive review from Top Gear. Good find.

I have it from the horses mouth that the car in the UK ad's is Caspian Sky, my dealer has also shown me a running order for the UK ad campaign - I can now tell you when every ad will be on for the next week! They have said that the car IS shown in Caspian sky, having seen the ad a few times now in a couple of shots it is definitely Caspian Sky/Glacier Frost, it's just the arty/farty lighhting that makes it look overly silver!

The definitive shots I found for Caspian Sky/Glacier Frost are on the review at:-

the automobile mag pics are definitely Glacier Frost, not silver. certain shots in the commercial look silver, but others certainly look like caspian/glacier. i agree the lighting has a lot to do with it. sometimes i walk to the parking lot looking for the car and can't believe how silver it looks. it's hard to understand unless you see it every day, but that's why it's such an interesting color.
