For the white, going with the factory Frost White for the major color is mainly practical. I like white cars, and it's a decent off-white. There are very few actual grays (greys) out there; I'm looking for a "light battleship gray" a true neutral. Few cars ever got that color; it's very new (or very old, re-new-ed "-) Audi and a Monte Carlo are the only ones I've seen. There are many off-whites and pale colors, but they all tend towards the brown or yellow -- nearly none trend towards bluish (they end up looking "baby blue" if too much blue). I will end up looking at paint chips though for the "gray". Good suggestion to look under "whites" though. > Have a good time in Germany, and take plenty pics! There ight be a bit of snow, but DO get out to the countryside while there. Just take the train to another city for a nice vies of the scenery. I so totally hate cold weather, you cannot imagine. I dug fence posts in Tuscon in July; that's very hard, but freezing temps I cannot get used to. But a free trip is a free trip... last time something like this happened it was Netherlands in November! Sheesh! Why not June?!
