The FAQ section at the top has volume numbers for 1997 and 1998 (I'll let someone else chime in about 2000)

Isn't 2000 the year they switched from silvermist to galaxy silver? And yes, there is a notable differance between the two

bronzemist is... well... bronze devilgrin
difference between silvermist and galaxy silver is the look of the finish. Galaxy silver is a cleaner silver, reflects silver, silvermist has an almost hazy and purplish tone under bright light, especially halogen. I only found out the difference when shopping for a rear bumper cover for my car and realized I had to get a newer one or else it wouldn't make the paint on the rest of the car

Don't forget Mary Kay Pearl... A white with a pink pearl coat. :p

Anyone know what color that dark-greyish gunmetal color was called?

After market paint don't count smile I also thought 2000 is when they offered the Medium gulf blue as an option on non pace cars. Or was that 01?

It's not aftermarket, it's a special paint (I don't feel special though) GM reserves for Mary Kay. They spray it at the factory.

No clue .. The list for 01 looks basically the same other than the name change for Silvermist. This is 02: Black, Blue/Black Metallic, Bright Red, Champagne Beige Metallic, Dark Bronzemist Metallic, Dark Cherry Metallic, Dark Tropic Teal Metallic, Galaxy Silver Metallic, Ivory White, and Redfire Metallic.

I think they changed Navy to that Blue/Black thing .. And in 03 they attached "Victory" to red.

Oh! Found your Gulf Blue. MSN says it was the 99 model year.
