Default What color is this car, please???

Looking into possibly purchasing it, but I'm not sure I like the color. Hoping someone could ID it, so I could find pictures of others and see if it's more of a blue or a silver, or whether it is all dependent on the lighting...
Thanks so much

Looks to be a cloudy day in that pic. I'd guess its the lighting conditions and the stuff around it... probably is Alpine silver

Alpine silver was a color on 98 / 99 GSs, here are a couple (with better lighting):

How did you manage to gather 3 SC's with the same color in that shot?
