>>If you are going to spray your car, spray it a color that _you like_. <<
I agree 100%. Personally, it doesn't matter to me if the car is the original
color, as long as it's a color I like. I've had numerous comments on the color
of my TR-6, all good. More than one person has said something along the lines
of, "If they didn't come in that color they should have."
>>I would like it if there was a real color standard so you could
say: it's 1115 Pantone Red. Then we could all "see" the same color (in that
it would be repeatable).<<
The problem here is that we don't all "see" the same color when looking at the
same object. We would need color meters to actually check, and then a color
simulator to see for ourselves what the color looks like. Incidentally, the
color meters already exist and give a reading showing the intensity of each
primary color. Some colors are impossible to reproduce on CRTs so the
simulator might take some doing.
