Not 100% sure but I think they range from darker to lighter thus:
Sebring - Quicksilver - Machine. But they are very close to each other.

I know one silver pops and is very crip while one was kind of greyish and not as slick.
I like the new spiral grey tho. Check that one out

Machine Silver is the lightest shade of silver with very small metal flake and as we all know...the fastest color....

That is what I was thinking...I park it next to my 04 Grand Prix (which is graphite grey) and the Silver holds its own as a darker Silver instead of being light. I don't agree that it is a light Silver. I almost looks Pewter until you get it in direct (no clouds) sunlight.

Sebring Silver is the same color GM used on the famous '63 Split Window Coupe - beautiful.

Machine Silver is darker than quicksilver....
I parked one day at MTI next to a machine silver vette. And the machine silver is definitely darker.

Has anyone found a good touch up paint for Quicksilver...If so where? It's beautiful but hard to match...

I was standing next to a machine silver C6 and my sebring silver C5, and the two are very similar. Quicksilver is very bright in comparison.
BTW - the C6 looked really plain sitting next to my C5 - the guy at the dealer was like, hey man, your car is making our flag ship look too simple.

I bought a bottle of GM touchup paint for my Sebring Silver '99 - way too light. Would Machine Silver be a better match?
