Thanks for the info. I went to the paint supply house and went look for my
shade of BRG today. Its a big difference when you take the book outside. I
think I have settled on a Jaguar BRG. Thanks again.

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.
