Default Colors on a Monitor

As a digital graphics pro, I caution you to be careful when you look at colors on a computer monitor. First, digital cameras are notorious for producing flawed colors and monitors will also change what you're looking at. This is particularily true of reds, blues, and greens. Silvers are really affected by the angle of the light and time of day the photo was shot. They can appear almost white to a dark pewter.

Only way to pick a color or shade is go to a car show and see 'em lined up next to each other.

BTW: I went to the NAIAS in Detroit last month. Almost every prototype shown was silver. Most of the silvers looked as if they were an attempt to create a bare metal effect. Silver is a very popular and attractive automotive color. Hard to go wrong with any silver.
