Default CS and CS??

Now that we have the new Carbon Silver color this year how do we abbreviate it, for those (not counting myself of course ) that are too lazy to type it out fully? I mean, CS is already taken by the Chrome Silver guys??!

CS07?
CarbS?

Sorry, too many silvers. Not just in Z's either. Silver has been the most popular/common car color for the last couple of years. Go stand out on a busy street corner and watch the varations of silver that pass.

FWIW...Use periodic table expression
IIRC...
Carbon Silver = CAg
Chrom(ium) Silver = CrAg

There's a reason that there are so many silver cars. The Z is one that happens to look really good in silver and it's one of the very few cars that looks good in almost any color. I tried hard to get Carbon silver, but I'm happier with the Alloy Silver than I thought I'd be. Big fan of the Daytona Blue, but it's just not "stealthy" enough not to get caught, if you Know what I mean. Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Learned from Traffic School: silver is one of the last to get spotted by a cop however, it's up there in accidents cuz just as much as it is stealthy from cops... it's also too stealthy sometimes when it comes to bad drivers.

Regarding the main topic: Carbon Silver in Chemistry class was CAg I believe? kinda nerdy but it makes sense!

This is a dilemma beyond human comprehension.
