What color is my max?

I have a 2002 SE. What is the "official" color? All I know is that it is grey. Here is the color code found under the hood.

is it a darker grey or is it a light brownish/silverish grey?

the darker color is called Grey Lustre and the lighter is Sterling Mist.

And a very nice color it is!!!

Having seen (and ridden in) Maximax2's, I can personally vouch for this!

Obviously still partial to black, especially when clean, but that is a sharp color as well!

One weird thing about Sterling Mist is that it's really pretty in sunlight - but on cloudy days it turns into battleship gray.

Easy to keep clean tho.

Sterling Mist does look very good when clean. I miss my Super Black 3rd Gen, but this 2K is much, MUCH easier to keep clean!

Black is bad-a$$, but you also work you a$$ off to keep it that way!

I washed my ride the other day knowing it was going to rain within a few hours...had to get the six days of rain/dirt/muck off the car - couldn't stand it anymore.
