Final answer (No friends left, audience no longer cares, used his 50/50 on Blut Orange).

not too bad. but beige feels a bit bleh. Very nice car. The color is definitely understated, which I suppose is good.

Not crazy about that beige colour at all, but blood orange, now that's a great color!

The way this build is going, you could paint it 'Janis Joplin Psychedelic' and I'd still love it!

It's being painted on Monday. It's not being painted beige grey, but it is being painted grey. Not quite psychedelic (

)and unfortunately not the blood orange that many hoped for, but at least we are now past the point of no return because the paint tinters have all been delivered for the mix. Thanks for everyones invaluable help and continual interest, if nothing else we have seen many fanctastic colour options and know that whatever colour it ends up it will be liked and respected. Cheers for that.
