Thanks for the response.
Silverstone most definitely is NOT a cream color. It is a light gray.

I like cream myself which is why I ordered Full Individual Platinum.

Here's how BMW light colored leathers look:
Opal White = White
Platinum = Cream (Think double whipping cream)
Silk Gray = Light Gray but a little warmer than silverstone
Silverstone = Light gray but with a colder gamma.

To be honest the difference between silk gray and silverstone is quite subtle. I think the Silk Gray looks richer than the Silverstone. However both grays look even more gray if you have tinted windows.

You should go sit inside the cars that have these leathers and have a look. I was able to find a dealer which had Opal White, Silverstone and Platinum on the same floor, and the color differences as highlighted above are striking. I also saw Silk Gray on a car in another dealership.
