Beauty
Saw this Beauty at the Cars and Coffee in La Mesa, Ca this morning. I think it was the Orange color someone was asking about earlier. Sorry didn't get the opportunity to get the paint code. Never saw the owner. The picture doesn't do it justice.

Re: Beauty
Could be tomato red or Hugger Orange. Computers don't always get the same hue values that the human eye perceives.

Re: Beauty
Definitely Orange, thought it might be Red when it drove by. But no question Orange up close. Not sure that. I’d call it Hugger Orange. I frequently go to different events around San Diego and will try to catch the owner next time! The color from the mirror reflection on the door is closer to the true visual color. It was an overcast morning.

Re: Beauty
That one patch in the sunspot is 516 Orange. The surrounding color looks redder.
The computer distorts colors.
