I am pretty sure (99%) it is. ...The standard Desert Silver color.

=> Wilson Audio: Authentic Excellence: The WilsonGloss Finish

* That last 1% remaining, Deb would know. :)

<<<>>> Regarding loudspeakers' colors (when not made of beautiful and gorgeous and exotic real wood);
a picture or two, and in real life in front of you, and with the light's angle reflecting on and from them,
it can play tricks with your eyes, which is natural, and can affect your mood too, of the moment, and of the future.
Thing is you never know for sure, but we always adapt with our entire environment, and colors can change dramatically when adjacent to other colors.

Color's preference is a choice, and no two people have exactly the same preference.
...Naturally because we all have different set of eyes and preferences in life.
And often we prefer the colors we are exposed to, and not by choice necessarily.

Desert silver, with a blue sky, and some turquoise water (aquamarine) colors surrounding it;
a nice audio expedition, sitting high on a camel, I think.

Unless the photo's color is really off that does not look like Desert Silver because my speakers are much lighter than that.


OOPs, I now see that Debby has clarified the subject. I should have read all the way thru before posting.
 
Would still welcome some color suggestions....see page 1 for my room pics....

Mike, I like the Desert Silver and if I ever move to the XLF's or whatever replaces them I would stick with the color. They color would go well in your room.

Thanks! It seems to pick up the other colors in the room. Agree?
 
It really is a great color. Originally my WATT/Puppy 6's were Mercedes Silver, and had them repainted to Desert Silver. My Sasha's (and center, surrounds, and sub) are Desert Silver as well.
 
Okay Mike there are issues when choosing a color for you. First of all, you may have the Alexia's for a year, a month, a week who really knows. Not even you I'm sure! So the color should be one that is easily salable. Secondly you need something that's gonna' make that room pop. Something that says, "Here I am. I'm loud and proud and you need to know that all this wonderful music is coming right from me baby!" So I say to hell with number one. The best choice for you is something along the lines of the Bugatti Blue. Now a custom color would be preferable just because I don't think this hue of blue is quite right, but it's the closest they have in their lineup.

C'mon man, look at that color. That's just what the doctor ordered for that plain jane room of yours. Live it up buddy.


(and I'm being totally serious here. That color, or something close to it, would be kick-ass in there. You can thank me later...)

Wow! I'm speechless. I did consider that Orange one!

Brown is about the toughest color to find a good match for. If you use orange it would look like the Cleveland browns locker room.
You have to either go gold metallic or similar, or white , or black which is boring for those speakers.
You wife is right blue and brown do not work. Burgundy might work.
I go through this same thing with housewives all the time , but on their walls not speakers. Lol
You should paint the room. Get a very light faded blue. Then get those mean ass royal blue metallic ones.
If you don't like em I can bring my cap sprayer down and respray them for you. !! Lmao
Good luck
I prefer a very light pastel green with big white speakers.
It says Florida all over it
