If searched for this before as well and never had much luck.

On the HOK website you can view numerous colors are difficult to see tiny squares. That basically tells you nothing, you need to see the color on a shiny car, not a paper card.

Google is your friend:

Like stated above you really can't tell a lot from online paint chips, but at least it's a starting point.

Internet may not be the best way to see the colors. You might try to go to one of your local parts stores that sells refinish products and ask if you could view their color charts.

That is a much better option, just make sure to take the book outside in the sunlight for a better representation of the color in natural light.

your best bet is to go right to a store where u can buy paint they will usually care paint samples already sprayed of alot of colors that you can view never believe the color until it is actually sprayed though! every painter has there own technique therefore there own color when sprayed!
