Silver.

Textured Argent Silver specifically.

Ok that's what it is now. My brother painted the car Plum crazy and it looks a little funny and we thought dark argent would work better. He's not a purest it's a fun type car so I'll let him know Thanks.

The above answers are correct only if it is a Rallye (argent silver with black inset at the taillights). If not a Rallye then the opposite (black with argent silver inset).
Info from an original 1972 sales video featuring the man who sold more challengers than any other single person. I will post a link as soon as I can pry it from this computer.

I just looked at the video again, I got it reversed. It is black on Rallye and Argent on the regular challenger. My bad

Now are you talking silver argent or dark argent on a regular challenger?

 

[challenger6pak]

It would be the lighter argent like the 71 Challenger grille. Is your car a Rallye? It would be black then. I based my first answer on 72 Challenger.

Interesting that in the 1972 demo film, the rallye dash had the odometer and clock resets in the dash panel rather then in the actual gauge pod.
I thought 72 and on had the controls in the gauge pod?

Since it was a training demo film, the dash could have been a prior year dash.

I didn't even notice that paharamia, I will have to check my dash when I get it out of storage. I only found the film because I am re-doing the car and wanted the tail panel correct so that is all I really paid attention to. Still neat to see something from back then. Probably should have put a time stamp on where the tail panel stuff was.

Cool ads for sure. The Challenger is a plain Jane car
