Question What do you guys think of this color? Finished bodywork pics next week.

So I got in a front end accident a couple months ago, got 4400 from insurance, bought a Vizage Type A knock off and all the other replacement parts I would need. I figured 3/4 of the car would be painted to blend the kit , so why not get the whole car painted? I'm sticking with the base Gunmetal Grey but I', having them add a Sky blue/lavender pearl for a subtle iridescence. Nothing too gaudy or over the top as I want everything to be simple and clean. Bear in mind that the paint sample highlights the pearl at an angle, but direct on it looks like stock gunmetal. Here are a few pics of the molding process and finally my color choice. I'll get some more pics up next week when its finished.

Any suggestions on any interior or engine parts to color-match?

Thats not the actual color, the base color is the same as the Z in my sig. At cetain angles in sunlight, you will see subtle hues of that blue... My Treo camera sux too btw...

Edit added pic at a different angle... The blue is in direct light..
