What color is this?

What color is this? Silver or Graphite?

What is good rims that go with these car colors?

For me, black car looks good with black rim with polished lips.

White car looks good with gold rims with polished lips.

What about silver and Graphite?

Thanks...

I'm also curious. This was at the LA Auto Show. I kept saying it was the Graphite color but my dad said it was Silver. Depending on the lighting sometimes it looked light enough to be silver and other times it was dark enough to be Graphite. I too am confused. Anyone that saw it at the LA Auto Show, what do you think?

and here is the blade silver..

They look different, or is it the lighting that is deceiving me..?

It's the lighting... the first picture they are using LED lighting which has a color rendering of 4800K (5000K is the closest you can get to "True White Light"), and in the second picture they are using eith T5 or Halogen Lighting which is anywhere from 3500K to 4100K.

Slidefox · 12-13-2008, 12:25 PM

Blade Silver.... Silver has always been a signature finish for the Z

Here is the Official US color thread

Folks, lets not confuse 370Z and Fairlady Z color names. They are basically same colors but different name in the US.
