Beware of color in pictures! (Paint Colors, etc.)

Beware of color in pictures! (Paint Colors, etc.)
There was a topic a few weeks ago arguing the differences of a blue color on a T/A...the true color of the car was Navy Blue Metallic, although it appeared to be much brighter (like an electron blue or something.)
Well, in light of that, for the value of my fellow CZ28.Com members, I created a webpage of my truck, just showing these differences.
When picking out a color for your ride, beware what it looks like in a picture!
The pics of my truck were all taken in the same room, at the same time, with different lighting concentrated on different areas.
So, this page is just so you will know to be aware of what something looks like in a picture, and how different affects will play tricks on what really is.
My truck is one solid color, not a chameleon color. Feel free to use the page to demonstrate to others how important it is to not base an opinion on choosing a color just because of one picture, or the way it looks at a certain time of day. LIGHTING MATTERS.
The Role Lighting has on a Vehicle's Color.
Photos cropped just to get some of the junk out of the way as we redo our garage...might wanna use pop-up blocker, it's a free hosted site...

does your truck take on those different colors in differents lights in person or is it just the camera?
either way its a nice orange.
Good to see that someone took the time to point this out!
Its almost a Dukes of Hazzard General Lee-ish sorta color

And BTW, throw this out there when people are asking "What color is this car?" type questions...this does nothing for me, but it is just to keep anyone from forming a mislead opinion. I have a buddy that has a T/A painted a color he isn't that pleased with, just because of what he thought it looked like...

Damn, that is exactly how my orange reacts in pictures. In some pics it comes out a very dark hugger orange, in others it comes out a very bright tangerine/yellowish color.
