[Chevelle-list] Custom Paint color?

[Rick Schaefer]

  Dan  There is or was a website at www.autocolorlibrary.com    You could
look at most colors from 1980 to present.   BUT I ggogled to find it, and
each time I click on the link ,  IE locks up.  May be something going on
here at work.   When I used it in the past, it was an excellent site to look
at a variety of colors.
