Brilliant Silver or Diamond Graphite?

I currently have an order for a brilliant silver coupe that will be placed for April allocation, but I am still debating whether to get the diamond graphite instead. I would love to hear the opinions of anyone else who struggled with this dilemma, as well as your opinion on these colors.

Thanks!

DG is better than BS IMO, but have you no love for CB?

Diamond. It may be the best looking metallic gray on the market for any car. The Silver is good looking, but doesn't distinguish itself. I'd definitely go Diamond if I couldn't have Obsidian.

I traded in my BS sedan for a DG coupe.
Go look at both if you can.
The BS is nice, but can look flat.
The DG has depth, and changes from different angles.
DG wins!

Re: Brilliant Silver or Diamond Graphite?

I love my Brilliant Silver, especially the way it looks at night under lighting. But you know what, there's too many silver cars of that shade out on the road. Go with Diamond Graphite.

Other coupes I've seen on the road:

2 CB
2 BO
1 IP
5 BS
1 Unknown (headlights + taillights at night going the opposite direction).

I'm a fan of the darker grays myself. Since the Sedan doesn't come in one, I went with Desert Platinum. It almost looks silver in twilight or in the shade. It looks a bit classier in the sunlight, IMO.

Re: Brilliant Silver or Diamond Graphite?

i originally ordered a DG, still love the DG, wish I had the DG. But I took the BS since it was a cancellation, ready to roll and I wouldn't have to wait another month.

if you can wait, get the DG.

Re: Brilliant Silver or Diamond Graphite?

Thanks for your opinions! Of course I am still debating, and I will probably take a trip to the dealer to see the colors in more depth (though it will most likely be another model, since I have yet to see a coupe at the dealer or on the road...and I live in a fairly large city!!!).

Re: Brilliant Silver or Diamond Graphite?

Ive had my car exactly a week and just took a look at the sticker again and realized I have the DG and not the BS. I was under the impression that there was only one silver. Doesnt matter to me what the name of the color is, I love it!!!
