Reply to "Update on Joel Roth's Beck Super Coupe"

Something isn't right about the Oslo blue sample.  My car, and every other one I've seen in Oslo blue look more like what they label as Royal blue.  Maybe it's a monitor thing.  oh well, no matter.  I like what I have whatever it's called.

Lots of room for error: chip, photo, monitor, etc. Plus, it’s hard for your eyes to decipher true color when they’re side by side.

It’s also why Autobody suppliers don’t use paint codes/chips to match color if the paint is 10+ years old. They use a refractometer or whatever that gizmo is called that measures the wavelength of the paint.

ps: The Aetna Blue is off too. It’s way more blue than grey.822812CE-A92F-43C3-8EDB-59CD1CB3AD28
