You really need to look at one in person, or at least check out the paint chip from a catalog. Everyone's monitor settings are different, different lighting in the pictures, different quality digital cameras, etc., and you won't get an accurate look at the color. When I was looking at the color Corvette Yellow, I saw many different pictures of Vettes with that color, and it was very hard to find 2 that looked alike.
