BMW has three browns that are similar. First two are Pyrite brown, second two are Marrakesh brown, and final two are Macadamia brown. I'm leaning towards Pyrite brown.

The third picture gives you two choices, the rear bumper and the body

Yeah, that's not a good match lol. Jims doing a spray out for the Porsche color, and unless it looks bad I think I'm gonna stick with it.

It’s funny how metallics flip, from sun to shade, from dark streets, to under city lights…you never know what it’s gonna do. My Chevelle is GM Silverado silver and we added a tad more pearl to it. It turns to a light blue hue in city lights at night. I know I’ve mentioned it before here Jody, but check out GM Brownstone Metallic before you lock in a color….and body lines enhance every color also. What’s ugly on a 70’s wagon is fire on a cool car…not that 70’s wagons aren’t cool.
It was available on silverados. It almost turns a shade of grey in the evening shade and city night lights. I TOTALLY regret not going brown on mine. If I could repaint it, it would be Brownstone.

I've always liked your car Scott, and silver was always a backup safe choice as I think it looks elegant on these Chevelles. I do like brownstone, just waiting for some spray outs to make a final pick.
