Totally agree with SOP.  Additionally, I'm surprised they used that variation.  Everyone knows the 08 is the superior silver.

I think he means the light blue one.... since that is what was available in 2008.  Only gen1/2 C14 in silver was 2011.

No, the Original, Classic, and best C14 painted in Neutron Silver.   Note the bold print on the word Silver.  The silver on the 2011 has no subtlety, unfortunately.  I mean, it's not a bad color all in all, but...hmmm....don't know what I should say here.  Maybe I should stop before I get into trouble... ;)

You can bold the word all you want, but Neutron "silver" is actually light blue.  I am not color blind!  Color comparison attached.  Silver is a reflective grey (and grey is a mixture of black and white).  Once you start adding color to it, it is no longer silver.

Yep, boring Atomic silver or Silverdammit  I will be jealous of only one color to date that has NOT been offered in the US and that would be the rootbeer brown, not quite as quick as Silverdammit, but oh so sweet nonetheless.  It would make it so much easier for Jay and Gumbi to keep up this Summer ;D

Logic won't work with us.  And yes, you are color blind.

So based on this you are saying the color is: BLUEDAMMIT

Just wondering  :rotflmao:

I sure wish that Mama Kaw would have sent the Moondust color over.  :-[

I also fix your post.  8)  :P
