Platinum silver comprared to Rhioudium silver
What's the thoughts on these two colors compared to one another. I'm in the middle of no where so going to see in person isn't a option. Looking at a 2013 right now and need to know if that silver is for me or the 2014 silver is for me.

These pics capture Rhodium's tint well.

GT Silver. The Champagne hue under certain lighting is beautiful.

Yes, very unique. A very light bronze (or similar) like tint under certain angles and light. Hard to capture in a picture.
Definitely not a 100% pure silver.

Platinum certainly has a tan/beige hue. It changes quite a bit with lighting
I wouldn't go with that color again but it was nice.

It's interesting that someone else saw the champagne hue. I thought I was the only one that could see it because no one that I talked to could.

I have GT Silver and have spent many hours admiring it under different conditions. My car in the above pic.

Rhodium is certainly a cool silver; definitely a shift toward blue.

They're all great colors. Just personal preference.
Rhodium replaced Platinum as a standard offering in 2014.

Platinum Silver reminds me too much like GT Silver. The only other silver I liked just as much was my 2001 BMW M3 in Titanium Silver.

No, not even close. Yes, both silvers, but easily distinguishable.

That may be true since I never saw Platinum Silver but I do see the champagne hue in my GT Silver.
