Great effort to display the different colors .
But I wouldnt try to differentiate without seeing them in person.
The light environment and viewing angle is so critical in these or any other colors that any other way of comparison is futile.
Recently had a friend buy a NEW Volvo with the hardtop that lowers and raises , it was silver. A rear quarter had been repainted ! Both he and I could barely notice in some lighting situitations and from some angles.
We are both over 60 so the rods and cones are a little shot ..... Dealer replaced the car.
But it is so great that there are people with the resources you provided....WOW What a great site.

I have an '04 Machine Silver coupe. I think that rear fascias match the body better on Quicksilver and Sebring Silver cars (all front and rear fascias are painted separately from the rest of the car). The Machine Silver 'problem' (lower fascia looks darker) becomes more evident at the areas just behind the rear wheel, and, like most metallics, changes in different lighting conditions.
I went to a high-end body shop to see if this could be improved.They told me not to mess with it and would not guarantee my satisfaction.

Just a slight difference in shades from looking at the pics. All nice colors though.
