If you do that, I recommend that you not make two mistakes I did.  First of 
all, allow plenty of time!  Don't flip through the book in ten minutes and 
pick something out; take your time at it.

Secondly, take the book outside into the sun to look at it.  The lighting 
makes a BIG difference.  Look at the book in the same kind of lighting your 
car will have: outside, not inside under flourescents.

I didn't do these, and I got a color for Sybil that was 
NOT what I expected; I like it, but was a bit surprised.
