Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll just go to my dealer at night under the lights and check out the cars in person. I have enough trouble with my old eyes seeing the difference in daylight, let alone in pictures!!!

Thats because its not Orange - Misano has a gold-flake undercoating. However - under supermarket style halogen streetlights - i can see how it can be mistaken for orange.

The pics show that the colors are different, but all of the pics have a bluish cast to them (in other words, a relatively low color temperature), so they do not accurately show these colors, even if your monitor is calibrated perfectly.

Moral of the story: You can never trust a digital photo to show color accurately unless (1) the photographer has properly color-balanced the camera and/or the digital image, AND (2) the image is displayed on a monitor that has been calibrated correctly.
