Are you saying that the C&S panel didn't give any "pop" to the image?
Compared to the white Kilz2 panel, I would say a little, but not near as much as a darker gray such as BW. I would also say that the "pop" factor is very subjective.

I would recommend going to an art store and buying small tubes of acrylic paints in Munsell N9 gray and N8 gray; they might be called Neutral 9 and 8 grays, but I think the Munsell color space is international. You can use these to make your own color swatches and use them to visually compare your test panels to see what N value they might be.

That other silver I tried was Mica based!!..colour sparkles everywhere..
Amazing isn't it how one brand has 'em and another doesn't. Both paints could be mica-based, it has something to do with how they coat the mica flakes.
