That should consistently get closer to actual color (even better if the pic is taken in natural lighting conditions, or if the color temp can be compensated for by other means).

I hope someone takes up the challenge, I'd really like to see this color for what it really is so I can show my wife (she might like it for a future vehicle). Our dealer hasn't had any examples recently.
I have a Canon G10 that I know will photograph it correctly and am happy to take pics once it arrives in a week or so, just might not be soon enough for those of you trying to make a decision on it, but will post up once I have the car!
