[V8] colors....

[Buchholz, Steven]

... I think the Cyclamen is a more brown and brighter color.  My car is
Amarena Mica Pearl Effect ... I believe that to be the dark burgundy.
I'm pretty sure that AVS V8 that was published in AutoWeek is cyclamen
... I have a shot from MH99 with my car and the AVS car ... and two
other V8s, one was Gerry Skulley's car ... which is a dark metallic
grey.  The other V8 in the picture is a lighter grey.  I also have a
Pearl car ...
