Like Uncle John said "Isn't dark silver really just light black?"
If this is the case, and if black is, by definition, the exclusion of all colors, then Dark Silver, can not be the best color, but the best "non-color lite"!!

You guys are killing me....I am so stuck between ordering Pure silver, Dark silver and Royal Grey that it is silly.
Wanted DS/B. Then thought it was too dark, ok, i'll get PS/B. No way i'll get RG, because you can't get a black top & I have to have a black top.
And then I saw RG in person. Black top, whatever. RG is pretty cool becasue it is a one year color.....but it is very dark! So, around i go again!!!
My wife has the CR, and I really do love it. It's just not for me! The shades of black are fine...I just cant decide between 15%, 50% or 85% black!

hyper blue as well, I think dark gray is a great color, but in small cars, darker colors show the vehivle smaller, I was between a DS and my HB, and HB looks 10 times more attractive and definetly faster...

DS/B "dont mess with an MCS"
A little de-chroming to make it look even darker silver...
I actually like the idea that dark silver and black make it look smaller, which makes it even more of a surprise when I get big kicks out of it.

I'm part of the DS family as well, but I think there's too many of them out there now...
As far as being the best color, I don't think so either....there is plenty of other great color combos out there, DS just happened to be the one I picked.
