Marc,
I have checked Rallye's website, and the color that they display (I know -
monitors can be funky with the colors, but follow me here) is a darker
shade. The remaining original paint on my car is lighter - much more like
color 563 than 562. The URL for reference is:

Has anyone ever taken photographs of original colors and posted them
somewhere? These color chips leave something to be desired.
Thanks,
Sidney Raper
