TJ97SH

I am curious how the 3 silver paint colors that were used in the 5th generation Preludes compare to one another.

My 97 is Nordic Mist Metallic. From what I remember there were 2 other silvers: Satin Silver Metallic and Crystal Blue Metallic, i think.

Of the 2 others, which one is closer to the NMM? I think NMM has a slight blueish tone to it, but not as much as the CBM, whereas the SSM is a lighter silver with hardly any blue. Does this seem pretty accurate?

I am curious because there is an OEM front lip for sale in each of the two silver colors other than mine. I am trying to decide which one to get in case that it is close enough to not have to paint (at least for a little while).

I bought a rear lip a few years back and only put it on about a year ago. I was told that it was CBM (or so I remember), but it seems to be pretty close to my color. I just mounted it up and it looks fine. Thanks for the input.
