08 ST - Vapor Silver or Silver Birch?

[RAB]

Hey all -



Planning on gettin an 08 ST XLT, though torn between the two Silver's (Birch or Vapor). What's y'alls styling preference on this color choice? I know the Vapor is a versatile metallic in different lighting/sunlight, though the Silver Birch I like b/c it kinda matches the chrome grille/silver wheels. Thoughts?

vapor silver would be my pick, good luck

I like the Birch (probably because I have the exact truck in the 07 model)

 

[Brett Wustman]

Yeah, Vapor for me too.

i vote Vapor..

 

[Ron Tobias]

My '07 is the silver birch and I think it looks great. Then again, I don't think the vapor silver was available in '07. I get a lot of nice comments on the looks of my Trac.



I'd probably opt for the vapor just because it's a new color for '08.



I like 'em both!

Vapor. Seem to have a deeper hue, and will probably sparkle nicely in the sunlight.

Go look at my 08 in my folder. It is Silver Birch with different wheels

 

[Aaron Yarbough]

I like the Silver Birch better...

Silver Birch

 

[Geoff Barker]

Silver Birch. It will contrast better with the black.

Welcome to the site RAB....



From the color choices with those pix shown, I'd go with the vapor silver.....for me, my #1 choice color was black. Good luck with whatever choice you decide to make and welcome to the ST Club

I like whichever is darker.

Both look great on the ST but Vapor Silver is a brand new color while Silver Birch has been around awhile. May or may not be a factor to you. Silver Birch may hide dust and dirt a little better than the slightly darker Vapor. But then again, there's less contrast on the Vapor with the black trim.



You should check them out in person under sunlight!

I sell these things for a living and everytime people look at the vapor silver they always go with that color over the silver birch. It is a much richer color if you are comparing silver vehicles.

Those are great exterior pics there Rod, esp. in the sunlight. The Vapor is akin to the Dark Shadow Gray on Ford's palette, it's a chameleon-like body color, b/c the metallic appears differently in various lighting. In the middle of the 08 ST brochure, the spacer spread w/ the Silver Vapor ST at a campfire is another example, it looks like it's the Silver Birch in that scenario.
