At least all the ones I've owned from SAAB. Silver paint. Heck they could have put neon orange paint on there (I suppose some people do, now that is garish!)... Sometimes the silver paint can seem awfully bright also...
One thing I have noticed re brake dust - on the 9-5, my winter wheels are silver (I repainted) and there is much less dust. Maybe it has something to do with them being constantly immersed in a salt water slurry all winter long, whereas the summer wheels looked almost black from the dust - I guess more dryness?? who knows... I doubt 10 spoke 16's (ng9-3) should look cleaner than essentially 3 spoke 17" wheels (2002 og 9-3se wheel twin tri)...
