Grrrrrr.

I have never fully understood the hatred toward Arctic Silver, it was after all a "premium color" as well as the prototype color and, dang it, the color of my car. Anything besides Arctic Silver is only attempting to emulate a Platonic "true form" or rather the ultimate (yet unattainable) version, or maybe closer to Aristotle's view of an extisting example of which all others are judged.

Rant over.

With all that being said, I suppose I can admit that I have thought about a color change to Seal Grey or even White...but then I guess I would only be trying to improve on an exemplar (which by definition is impossible). Oh well...
