Either the sticker was wrong, or you guys were under different lighting conditions and the colours were shown to be very different (possible, since it was cloudless sky, BRIGHT sunny day in Vancouver vs showroom lighting).

At first I didn't believe my eyes that I even took the colour chart and put it on the hood of the car to do a comparison. Even the sales was like, "yeah, the colour chart looked completely different to the actual colour in person"

EDIT: Dammit none of you are in Vancouver and would be able to go to the dealership to take a look

I joked with the salesman about color names and that I see some guy in a locked room somewhere wearing a ball and chain being told "I want new names for this grey/silver color!"
From the brochure I decided on S-Silver, drove one with 9K. on it and full of plastic wrapping and stickers. Loved it, went to the bank and when I got back and saw the 2 cars together, I switched to the A-silver instead of the "Grey". One looks Silver and the other looks Grey, at least to my eye.
I took a picture of both outside and side by side but can't post them here.

They must have been marked wrong. I saw both side by side (outside, in dealer parking lot). The Alabaster Silver looks like the pictures posted by Dañiel and the Storm Silver looks almost Charcoal gray.

Does anyone know how the Alabaster Silver sold in Canada compares to the Lunar Mist sold in the US? And is the Storm Silver in the US and Canada really as dark as the color chart (looks like charcoal gray to me).

Thanks!

Took this picture of the A-Silver and the S-Silver, but was in shadow.
The A looks like the car behind it. The S looks grey.

The color seem off quite a bit on that color chart, Virtual, at least as it comes across my screen. That Milano Red doesn't look like that up close.

I don't know how many people already have US Fit brochures but I took this picture of it next to a Scion brochure for comparison, for anyone besides me who wanted to see the US colors.

Vancouver's been on a sunny spree these last few weeks, all the trees blossoming, not a cloud in the sky. We haven't had rain in a whole 4 days.

Warming up a bit too, peaking at 14 degrees Celsius

Thank you, thank you, thank you! If the brochure is color-true, then the storm silver is not as dark as the one in Canada...looks more like a very classy pewter to me.

Well, there is a brand new A-Silver Fit LX A/T sitting in my driveway tonight. The birth was a hard one from the bank to the Autopac not having the vehicle listed.

Hey, way to go!! Where you buy it from?

Google "photobucket", open an account, upload the pics, then you can copy/paste the ulrs into your post via the button just above the text box you use to post. Then you'll have pics in your post.

Have fun!!
