Default Looks In Person - Palladium/Stardust Silver?

Looking for opinions of how the 2016 Palladium Silver/Stardust Silver CVO Road Glide Ultra looks IRL (in real life). SO tough to tell in pictures...the lighter color looks almost white in pics and can't judge how that blue outline looks.

YES, 100% subjective thing and different strokes, etc., just wondering if anyone who owns this color or has seen IRL would give impression. I know that I love the charcoal/carbon color but am not seeing many out there...so far.

Thanks!

I have seen a few of them and think it is a sharp bike. I like Silver and this is a very tasteful bike in my opinion.

Thanks Cosmic. Appreciate your take. I know this type of question can be tedious, so thanks.

Thank you! That is really helpful. It looks SO much better in your pic than what I've seen online...where it reads almost white and the blue lines look really light which all conspires to look to overall "bright" and dare I say, a little too "pretty" for me...yours put that to bed! NOT that there's anything wrong with that, of course! Ha (just being careful not to offend).

Oops, I now see why I like your so much better. It's a different color combo than this one. Where the predominant color is the darker silver like yours, much nicer I think.

It's hard to capture the shades and details on many of the CVO colors because of the layers and intricacies of the paint. And sunlight vs other lighting makes a huge difference also.

It is a good looking color especially out in the sun.
On a side note, why do imbedded pictures not show up completely? All I see are blurred pictures.

For your side question, its the speed of the internet and web site. If busy it takes a bit longer to load the pics, they stay blurred until loaded completely.

On topic pictures do not do the CVO paint jobs any justice unless its a professional photo and the paint highlights were the point to the picture. I never thought I would have a silver bike until I saw the silver in the sun and overcast to see the changes, it make a huge difference and ends up the colors are great. Although mine is a different year silver, good luck on your choice.
