Silverstone v Moonstone

Hey CanAutM3 I noticed your sig pic looks really moonstone-y, but didn't want to post in that thread so I thought I'd post over here. It's strange how sometime silverstone and moonstone look alike and other where they're totally different:

I took this pic at the Welt with a full-frame DSLR:

They're both cool colors, but the difference between them is that SS has more of a blue hue to it, while Moonstone is just silver.

Thanks for sharing the pics, and please post more!

Yea, I noticed that too.

It seems to me that both Moonstone and Silverstone are very reflective colours and the environment has a big impact on how they come out. Moonstone seems to have more beige/gold undertones while Silverstone has more blue/sliver undertones. This particular picture of my car was taken in early morning sun with a 60D, so the pinking/orange colour of the sun turned it more towards the beige/gold of Moonstone.

Fun to have such dynamic colours

I think Moonstone reminds me of the color of actual pearls, and not so much silver.
