Default Qs & Ms ??

What's the difference between Quick Silver and Machine Silver, and what years were both colors offered. Thanks!

MS = 2004 - ?

QS = 2001 - 2003

Sebring Silver = 1996 - 2000

I don't recall the difference,however, if you do a search you should find a thread showing pics of cars with the 3 colors.

Machine Silver is darker than the Quick Silver and Sebring Silver. It's like the Quick Silver mated with the Pewter - the result was Machine Silver

MS looks a little darker because the metal flakes are a little smaller than the QS and it reflects a little less. The colors are pretty close. The metal flake sizes are more different.
