Is it just me or does the "silver" of he new colors just look grey?  Aeroflot's silver looks much more silver to me. Is this a copyrighted color?  Seems there should have been something to look more like silver than the choice they made.

Not just you.  I thought grey was the official color

I am pretty sure it was supposed to be silver, reminiscent of AA's long time silver aircraft.  They supposedly did a lot of research to get the right silver as I recall.  HMPH. 
 
Northwest had a better "silver" mica paint than the AA paint.  It's going to look horrible when it oxidizes.

Are we going to go through the entire fleet, one-by-one?  Pictures, too?  Jeeez!  They all look the same to me!
Ha you should see the list they're keeping on airliners.net. Tail number+fleet number for all the new colors in the AA and US fleets, the whole 9 yards

Yeah, I know of Airliners.net.  It's their "thing," and that's just fine.  I am glad there's a site for that since it is interesting documentation for researchers and for those people who inexplicably (to me) find it fascinating.
 
I recently deplaned from a trip to Madrid, and a few of the passengers were glued to the concourse window writing in a little logbook tail numbers of airplanes they could see on the ramp (with the aid of binoculars, yet!)  I see people do that occasionally, and find it sadly amusing.  
 
Why not write down tag numbers of cars and which brand/model they are attached to?
