    You might need to provide a bit more information in regards to the paint. Name alone often isn't enough. Is this an OEM color, what brand? Is this an aftermarket color, what manufacturer, paint line, etc.

    Also generally unless you can see a car in person with your chosen color it will be almost impossible to decide based upon pictures or others input.

    If you like the color, then I recommend looking at the exact color on a vehicle in person when possible. Otherwise I recommend a large spray out on either a speed shape, curved panel, fender, etc. to allow you to see the actual color in person in natural light.

    Oh! FYI never pick a color INSIDE the paint store. Always look at colors and color chips outside in natural light. That is unless you vehicle is a show car that will only be shown indoors, then view that color under the same lights as your venues. Good Luck!

    Mostly because of body lines is why it looks different
