I believe they only did Chicane in 08, and went back to Silverstone for the few 09s that were produced. Anyone know fact to this?
Nope. Honda.com says otherwise.

It's very hard to see the difference between Chicane and the other silvers in that pic. I test drove a Chicane 08 last summer and the difference between Sebring and Sliverstone was much more apparent. You really need to see the colors side by side or at the very least, first hand.

First time I saw Chicane was at the dealership during evening, so it took a while to realize it was a completely different color from silverstone, but when you do see the difference it has a nice shimer to it. Looks real nice imo

I think the best way to see the difference is to see them side to side in the same picture, both being clean. Otherwise, any differences are either masked or enhanced due to different lighting conditions. If I saw either on the street without noticing the '08+ wheels, I'd think it was Silverstone.

I have an 08 Chicane Silver with red leather. The Chicane is waaaaay darker than Sebring and a couple of shades darker than Silverstone. Calling the Chicane paint silver is a bit misleading as it's really a dark gray metallic. I've only seen Moonrock in photos but it appears to be much darker than Chicane.

In the photo that JLude posted above the glare off the front makes it look much lighter than it really is. The side of the car is a little more accurate rendering of the paint.

Moonrock is the darkest... then Chicane... then Silverstone... then Sebring.. But as it has been said before, Chicane is the darkest you are going to get in the US.
