Long John Silver?

OK Andy, that is probably the paint appellation from the factory, and if Angie and Phil's car is red, yours is definitely silver.

It is however, a thankfully dark silver. The later one-colour cars are a bright silver, don't know the factory name, but very bright. I am complimenting your car when I call it grey.[OK, metallic grey] as the really bright silvers can look uncomfortably close to the colour and consistency of aluminium paint.

If yours was a Renault colour, they would call it Pearlescent Tungsten, a much more manly title than poncy Liquid Silver.
