The colors changed a bit from year to year. Here's a link with the colors available every production year of the C5.

Most popular..........
Interesting that the 2001 C5 12U Galaxy Silver is listed but not my 12U Quicksilver ( both are the same color but with different names).
According to PPG Industries in their 2008 survey for north America Silver is still the most popular. Then White, Black and Red come in second , third and fourth (if I recall ).

Yep, thats why the '53 was white. 
12U is Quicksilver not Galaxy Silver.
