That's the plan. It's very difficult to always match up colors when not
everyone has every color to compare it to. One person may have a lot (or all of
them) but another may only have a few. It's not a problem limited to Peeron as
well, as I've bought parts that were listed as one color that it was clearly not
when it arrived. Colors are always the most difficult IMO, descriptors like
"light" and "dark" and what not tend to be very subjective and relative to one's
collection. :)
