Am I the only one that can't tell  a damn thing by looking at color chips? The more I look at them,the more all the different shades of ever color start to look alike.

On top of that,it seems like I never see a color on any of those charts that looks like any color I have seen on an actual car.

You can't on a computer screen.  Differences in computers, cameras and screens will interpret digital colors differently. Go to a jobber and look at their chips, in the sunlight - not under a fluorescent light.  I can get them close comparing chips to a paint sample indoors or with a camera but I take them outside for the final comparison.  The camera does not ensure a color match.   Spectremaster has chip books that goes by shades of a dominant color and it's fairly easy to get it down to two or three choices for best match.   The lighting inside may make it a perfect match, take it outside and it's off a little, shade lighter or darker and it may still need a bit of "hand craft".  Your local jobber can do that for you.  If you want to match a color, do it locally.

Thank you. I will be sure to do that when I get my 51 ready for paint.
