So here they're, your official colour swatches. These are a little extra special as they've been painted at the Mercedes F1 factory.

Magic mushroom really does seem to change loads! Glad I picked it though.

My other choice was Britannia Blue, but that seems to brighten up considerably in sunlight. Were it a darker shade like a midnight blue, it would have been a close run thing!

Excellent work, Steve ! (y)

If you want to get the colors as neutral as possible, and if you know a photography enthusiast or a studio, ask them to take some pictures with a (or with some) flashlight/s. That's the only defined source of light which is half way controllable at about 5500K. A modern camera will adjust to 5500K if a flash is attached.

And then, a grey-card (photographic equipment for a a few dollars) should be photographed together with any sample. Than, any user can use this card on the picture as a reference in his photo viewer (which should allow to adjust color to the reference).

There are of course more hurdles to master before the viewer gets a neutral impression (monitor setting and quality ...), but with a controlled first step you have a good start. This is in fact something which Ineos should do, as they sell their cars via Internet ...

Hop in darling. this is a magic mushroom.
Perhaps you should post this request not in the Grenadier forum, but in that of a women's magazine. ;)

Wow! Now it's getting technical, photo-technical!

Why extra special, I would have thought paint is paint no matter where sprayed?
Isn't the point that they're not extra special but fully representative of the actual factory finish?

If someone can even explain the comment?

What is this color next to Mushroom? Seems to be a new one.
