n00b question on car color

Ok, this will really prove that I am a n00b....
Haven't been around many RX's (yet), but picked up my used 2005 a couple weeks ago. The dealer had it listed as Silver/Gray. So which is it? When I look at pics of silver - mine seems darker. When I look at pics of gray, mine seems lighter...

I got some pics posted - maybe it will be obvious to the trained eye....

The 06/07 grays are darker than the 05 grays. They switched from "titanium gray" to "galaxy grey." You have titanium gray.

2005 should be titanium gray. Unless previous owner re-paint the car to different color.
