Default Post pics of Silver C5's please!!!!!!

Does anyone know of a site that has photos of all of the corvette color options? I am trying to figure out the difference between light silver metallic, sebring silver and quicksilver metallic? Or if anyone has pics - please post. Tried the search and didn't come up with much.

THANKS

Here's Spiral Grey, which is silver in sun light. You will note that all pics of silver cars are different depending on the surroundings and light direction. Only real way to see is the differences to line them all up and take one pic of all at the same time...

Thanks for all the pics everyone. Love that spiral grey, but I don't think a 2003 or newer is going to happen just yet.
