'05 Silver compared to '06 Silver?

Are they a lot different? Personally, I'm not big fan of the '04-'05 Silver. Is the '06 different? I saw an '06 tonight under some dealer lights. The Silver looked more silver, less grey. But hard to tell. Anyone notice a difference?

I think you really need to have an 04/05TL side by side w/a 06 TL to see if their is any difference.

Do you like the new one better, worse? Just curious.

Go build your own on Acura.com. Car websites are always good for the names and looks of colors. While they may look different (read: not as badass) in person, they are still a good comparison chart.

Walking the Walk versus talking the talk

Since the black has a blue metal flake, they would look very similar. Now I think there is more of a distinction between the colors. The silver seemed brighter. The new silver seems to be more contemporary shade than the classical shade. The amount of paint on the bumpers seems to be the same.
