What Color Silver?

I would like a silver or grey exterior with a black or grey interior. Any suggestions for the most striking color combo?

GT Silver w/Black is a stunner. As is Meteor. Arctic is too common. Go for GT Silver or Meteor. Really.

Yesterday I had my Arctic parked next to GT. I always assumed that GT would look better. Honestly, GT looked flat/dull vs. Arctic. Most striking combo would be Arctic/Red.

Arctic all the way! Don't even think about it. Deviated stitch to match the calipers. Priceless!

Polar silver next to arctic silver makes the arctic look very gray. Polar used to be a regular color, now it's a special order....polar has a slight blue tint to it.

GT silver, with black or cocoa interior. For me: Polar is too baby blue and Arctic looks yellow and flat compared to GT silver when they are side by side. GT silver will look more metallic, wet, deeper, richer, with a hint of blue and red in it from different angles.
