White is white silver is silver

Way back in nineteen oatcake when I worked in the Motor trade we had to mix our own autopaints with a machine...and there was hundreds upon hundreds of shades of every colour and all manufacturers were different as well....even the same named manufacturers colour often had several shades.............the Human eye can pick up millions of shade differances..
