What type of silver is this?



Did this silver ever make production? Or is it a trick of the light?

I've heard it called Titanium Silver and Tungsten Silver. People loved it so much they decided to make it available on the standard production Stang (the one pictured above is a show car) and the version we got was Tungsten Gray, which isn't the same color. It's similar, and looks almost the same in certain lighting, but it ain't the same paint. Vapour looks pretty close though.

Hmm, it still looks lighter than Vapor and definately lighter than Tungsten.

I guess a lot depends on the light. Still, whatever it is/was, that show car colour looks superb.

Thanks for the replys.

This one has a bit better lighting

Might just be the buidling and the concrete reflecting in the paint, but Vapour almost looks like a cross between Titanium and Tungsten with a little bit of Mineral Gray.

I belive this is the car that made the show circuit in 2004 and was the original 2005 (1yr only) silver. Satin Silver??

All I know is that Tungsten has somewhat of a "purple" tint to it in certain light (didn't care for that)...I really loved Mineral Gray...it will be interesting to see what "Vapor" will look like.
