'04 also had Chrome Silver and the one-off color Liquid Aluminum, which was a $1k option. You can always check the sticker on the door jamb for the paint code.

On the back-passenger side of the firewall is a metal plate attached to it with the color code stamped in it.

Cross ref to the chart here...

Silverstone is more like gray than a bright metallic silver.

07+ are Carbon Silver. It's slightly darker then Silverstone, but Carbon Silver is def sexier.

In the attached pic left is Silverstone, right is Carbon Silver.
