Default What Colour IS is this

Hey,
I'm considering purchasing my first Lexus, and IS200t.

I can't tell if this is Silver Lining Met or Atomic Silver?

What do you reckon

Sorry about the clipped pics, not sure if the people selling would get p1ssed, so playing it safe.

Hard to tell from your pictures, but atomic silver is darker than silver lining silver

The 1st and 3rd look like atomic silver. The 2nd and 4th more like silver lining. Probably not helpful. But Silver lining is more of a pure silver with no hint of brown/sand/gold. Atomic silver definitely has a sand hue to it & change from more tan to more silver depending on the lighting. Atomic silver is a warmer color.

That is definitely atomic silver. It changes its colors from being to silver depending on the lighting.

Comparison shot of Silver Lining and Atomic Silver for reference (mine's the Atomic Silver one, in front). You can also see the same two cars in my signature photo below.
