if you are looking at cgm, then the iridum is the only one of those thats close. cgm is too dark for what i wanted, but it would look good as a primary color.

this is what I do to chose a color is drive to new and used car lots on a sunny day to see what the colors in the real light and not a chip book they just start to look the same after staring at them go out and see the color on a whole car. hope this helps you from spending alot of hard earned cash and not being happy with the results.

That is good advice and is what I am going to do today after work. I agree that looking at color samples out of a book doesn’t really give you a good indication of what the car will end up looking like. Seeing a whole car in person makes a big difference…
