Help with color 27c Cadillac sixty.

Is the right model:
metallic brown ?
or
metallic lilac ?

(see also, the bottom of the models)
Photographed outdoors. In daylight.
The same problems also with the gray models.

My problems for allocating the correct code is:
On the underside of the car body, I always see lilac color.

Mike - you are not alone :D
I also have the same problem with 2 Cadillacs I got last year - I put photos here viewtopic.php?f=20&t=176&start=10
The more I look, the more I think the grey/metallic brown/??????? colour is the lilac that has either had some reaction or maybe had less coats or something. In certain lights mine looks as if it has a hint of lilac but it never looks the same colour twice :?

The lilac can fade in direct sunlight similar to the pale green Aston Martin and the light mauve Dauphin Caravan which can both fade to silvery shades. Therefore many beers are needed for the serious collector.

I can't explain that Mike, the model on the right looks darker but it also looks like lilac from underneath, is that right?
