Ah yes the infamous silver labs. Actually they more then likely are purebred but due to the way lab breeders have been breeding over here with yellow to yellow and getting lighter and lighter, it's become a fad to have the "silver" labs. Not sure what the genetics behind it is but it does have something to do with the chocolate and yellow gene.

Ugly is all I can say, happily patting my nice old black lab on the head.
