That makes a lot of sense to me. I really like the combination of these
mid-tone values when they are next to the darker colors. Like tan/brown and
this medium blue/blue (not necessarily in the car model, as another post pointed
out, there was a reson for using gray, I just didn't like the "hum" of the two
values together - maybe chrome would have been better?). About the only color I
don't like is the sand red. Something about it bugs me and I am glad I do nt
have any.
