Then again, beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.
I have to say, in all the pictures you've posted above, the only cars that make me question my view that silver is a boring color, are the Porsche's.

I think it's got a lot to do with the curves, but also, because I'd call the Porsche interpretation "gunmetal grey", not silver.

It's darker.

To each their own, but I just don't like "alpine white" or "[whatever] silver" - White cars look like you couldn't afford the extra for "metallic paint"; and most silver just look to me like "camry silver".

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't say no to that Lambo; but it'd look a lot better if it were blue or black.

... and for the record, the only cars that look good in "taxi yellow" are supercars. (Fararri, Lotus, Lambo's etc.)

(Just my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.)
