I don't mean to hijack this thread but I didn't think it was worth starting another thread. It's kind of on the samw subject, truck color.

Hmmmmm Ok Aussie,

I'm wondering if you are doing this justt to see how many colors I can cram on one picture - hee hee. Here are the paint chips with the pictures you took in the sunlight. Even more now, the lighter color is getting farther away from the Glacier Blue. I'm not sure at this point if you are trying to decide on a new color, or looking for something that matches the Glacier Blue chip. But your lighter color is very rapidly turning into "perrywinkle" There is a lot of pink in it. The darker is almost the Glacier Blue just needs to be lightened up a notch. Here's the comparison
