Car colors do not look the same in pictures as they do in real life; they look different on the computer too.
What I did (and what I have recommended over the years), is go to a couple of the larger new car shows (World of Wheels, Detroit Auto Show, etc.) and walk through the hundreds of new cars looking for the exact color that you want. Chances are you'll find it. Then take a snapshot of the sticker and your body guy can PPG it to look
exactly right.
And btw, some colors look completely different if you have your sunglasses or or off with polarizing lenses.
And some colors look completely different inside the show under the glare of lights, as opposed to outside in the sunshine.
So once you're sure of the color you want, go to a dealer and look at other cars with the same color that are sitting out in the sunshine and double check your decision.
