Storm Silver Metallic.. More silver or gray?

I can't decide on a color of fit just yet, but I have been wanting a darker gray color car.
I really like the IS300 graphite color and the new accords dark gray color (charcoal bronze?) anyway, I know the Storm Silver isn't that dark, but I've seen contrasting pictures where it looks like a regular silver color and at times a darker grayish.

I'm really wanting to see more of a darker color, but I wanted your opinions on what it looks like more. I've seen it once and I still haven't decided which color I see more of it. Just wanted some quick opinions. My other option is maybe the Vivid Blue

Honda sells storm silver and in Canada they also sell an alabaster silver(lighter) I own a Storm silver MT Sport and was between this color and the VB. In the end the Blue was just to bright for me in the long run. I LOVE the Storm silver.

there's the Satin SIlver here I think it's called but I don't like it one bit. It looks rather light/baby blue than a silver... plus it's only on the base models. As for the Storm, what is your opinion Stevens? A grayish color?

Two silvers in the states

There are two silvers here in the states the darker Storm Silver Metalic on both the base and Fit Sport and the base only Lunar Mist Metalic (IMHO lighter and with a bluish tinge)

I would love to see a new color... Somewhat darker than SSM but lighter than the Nighthawk Black Peral.

Storm is more gray than silver. It has a very stealth feel to it which I really like. I have 20% tint on mine and really like how it looks I will be getting wheels now that winter is pretty much over. Already have the JDM re/smoked tails t1r coils and js racing sway bars front and rear. I also got the sport grill and had it painted to match.

To be honest, I'm quite pissed off at Honda Canada for not offering Taffetta White up here. I picked up the SSM, and I'm still on the fence about it. Perhaps after giving it a good wash, clay, and wax it might catch my eye the right way. If I were to do it again, I probably would have chosen between Black or Blaze Orange instead. The SSM for me is still too bright...more like a regular silver colour as you pointed out.

Storm silver to bright? Yat you would rather have orange or white Black i would give you and if I did not live in a n area with numerous weather changes I would have gotten Black also. Just to difficult to maintain in Colorado.

I don't like staying with a neutral colour, which the Alabaster Silver is. I thought the SSM would be a very dark silver. Hell, the colour sample certainly looked dark in the brochure. In the end, the SSM still looks too bright of a silver for me.

the color sample was very dark. Very nice color, although I did get to see a SSM fit in person and I liked the color anyway. Went with that.
