My 2010 GLS is about a month old. So far loving it.
Something that's been bugging me is what the (sales) sticker and door sticker refer to as the color.

The sticker calls it Graphite Gray, the door sticker has the paint code of WJX (also for Graphite Gray), but here's the deal; the car is more silver than gray. Don't get me wrong - it is the color I wanted (looks great with the black interior) but I don't know if they messed this up.

Here is a link to a local dealer that allows you to select color options:

My car is definitely NOT the darker, Graphite Gray but looks exactly like what they show as Diamond Silver.

I was considering Graphite Gray, or Kiwi Green, but couldn't wait to see the color on the lot, the green one happened to come in first, & I liked it, so I took it,,, a week or so later when I came back to pick up my Reg. I saw a Graphite Gray version, the color was lighter then I expected, but not silver? I was expecting it to look similar in depth to the Chai Bronze? I was glad I picked the green (though a bit pale) but, the deal breaker would have been the black interior, as mine has the Taupe interior, not available with Graphite Gray, and it still gets too hot inside.

My gf just ordered a new ix35 in Grey titanium and it is a dark color.
We have seen most of the colors in person and Steel silver is very light, blue ice is pretty much the same color as silver.

Here is a pic of Grey titanium. Think its the best looking color - looks like a space shuttle or something lol

EDIT

Turns out colors arnt the same around the world. Our paint codes are different, so my post is of little help.
