Absolutely true - viewing a color on a computer monitor may be one of the
_worst_ ways to judge how it will look on your car, since the monitor is
projecting light rather than reflecting it.

And remember that the "appearance" of a color will be different under
fluorescent light, incandescent light and sunlight. Best move is to make
color comparisons in sunlight (unless you want the car to look "just right"
while parked in the garage.  :-)
