Thanks for the advice. I see I may have to rethink things. Assuming the brochure chips are reasonably accurate (not always a good assumption) I made some comparisons.

Exterior color

The first picture is the overall look I have now.

The next shows how the interior and exterior colors match (the interior color is the Alcantara on the rear deck).

The next is a comparison of the present color with the selections in the brochure. Milano Beige is indeed slightly darker and much more chromatic, making it look more "gold". As you have pointed out, this is not a subtle look. Cashmere silver is lighter and much closer to neutral.

Interior colors

The next picture shows the interior leather chips in the shade against the Ameretto. Cinnamon Brown is substantially darker.

The same result happens in the sun.

The next picture compares the wood choices. Sycamore is redder and more deeply patterned than light wood, since it's cut from a burl.

Overall, I am now thinking that I will abandon my plan to try to match what I've got and go with Cashmere Silver, Venetian Beige, and Dark Wood.

Thanks for helping me think this through.

Jim
