Deep Sea Blue/Dakota oyster/Fineline Stream

Just picked this up on Friday. In Australia, many of the items you North AMericans get as standard are optional (and very expensive). I kinda went to town with this car, but having spent yesterday driving it, I'm glad I did. In particular, people on the forum have been underwhelmed by the Harmon Kardon - but I'm super pleased with it. Anyway, tell me what you think about the colour combo.

Congrats on the new car.
You need WAY better pictures if you want opinions.

I cant figure oyster out. Sometimes it appears to be off white and sometimes it appears to be beige. I ordered oyster on my car and I'm hoping it looks more white than beige. Your color combo looks good from what I can tell but again, your pictures are not good.

It's very nice, congrats!
You have the auto dimming mirror, which I didn't get as standard and it's bothering me like crazy.

Thanks Alpine. I do appreciate the feedback. As it was, it took me 2 hours to repeatedly re-size the pics I did take to fit the exacting requirements of the forum, so I don't think I'll bother with more, but thanks anyway

As for the beige v. off-white, I would say the actual colour is mid way between the 2. It's not off white - that's for sure - but it's a very pale beige. Actually, I would describe it as parchment. Hope that helps in some way

Thanks Drivethemachine. Actually, I forget which one of the multitudinous option packages the dimming mirror formed part of, but I'm fairly sure it wasn't standard. It's strange though - there are some things we get as standard that you guys don't. For example, we can choose between Sport and Modern 'lines' for no charge - we can't get a non-line car here. The vagaries of different markets.
