Default !989 Gray Metallic Paint Question

Is the 1988/89 gray metallic color the same as silver metallic? I saw a picture of one and it looks silver. I cannot find a color chart. Any comments or ideas?

GM color code is 90 for gray metallic, but both years also had Charcoal Metallic, code 96, which is simalar.

No, they're not the same.
Sliver Metallic - code 13 - available 1985 - 1988
Gray Metallic - code 90 - available 1988 & 1989
Charcoal Metallic - code 96 - available 1988 - 1991

the higher the code # the darker the color.

If you can get your hands on a copy of "CORVETTE CHRONICLE" by James Flammang c.1991 ISBN: 0-7853-0068-6, page 173 shows the three colors (although Charcoal Metallic is called Dark Smoke Gray Metallic).

A 1988 sales brochure will also show the differences.
