I'm moving stuff around at home and don't have access to my books which give this kind of info. My 2000 is Sebring Silver, but I'm not sure which years the Quicksilver applied to. But, they are different colors, not just different names for the same color.

Quicksilver was available in model years 2001 through 2003. Then, Machine Silver was introduced during the 2004 model year. All three are different.
