Pewter metallic.

I've always struggled with trying to determine if it's more gold or more silver. In some lights I think it looks awesome, almost like a tungsten.

Then, in other lights the gold seems to come out, which I dislike, a lot.

Wanted to get some other opinions.

Pewter is similar to a champagne color to me, more 'gold' than 'silver'. The pewter looks better in contrast to darker colors (black roof, flat black berger panel, black wheels, etc.), however by itself I think it is kind of a blah or meh color to put into words lol. I don't mean to dis your car, just my opinion. My first fbody was a '97 SS that had a Sebring Silver color, which I loved.

I've always disliked pewter, even though I ended up buying two different F-bodies in this color. LOL.

I agree about the gold being more visible in certain lights, and this is the aspect of it that I hate as well. Direct sunlight seems to bring this out, perhaps aided by the metallic content. I always found it to look best during pre-dawn and dusk hours, or on somewhat cloudy days or under artificial lighting.

I would say that it's closer to the color of damp sand than it is to silver. For direct comparison sake, here is a picture of my pewter '02 and silver '98 together in the same light:



Silver has always been my favorite color for these cars, but the tan/beige/gold content of pewter was only good for one thing: hiding dirt. It pretty much always looked clean even when it was dirty. Best aspect of the color IMO.

My wife asked me why I was wearing brown shoes with black pants one day. I said I'm not, I'm wearing brown shoes with NAVY pants. True story.

I think GM felt it would serve a dual purpose. If someone wanted a silver car here you go, or, if someone would rather gold then silver here you go as well lol.

It’s neither gold nor silver, it’s pewter.

Haha so true, my first car was a gold colored Ford Taurus and it never looked dirty. The problem with that is when it did finally look dirty, you know it isn't just dirty but absolutely filthy

It's a pretty bland color that GM painted half of their cars with for a several year period until people calmed down and realized that it's like a light tan with some glitter in it and that it is, in fact, quite ugly.
