Your choice looks perfect.
The problem I am having shows up when yours are compared to Mike's RV10 above, his looks very light compared to yours, obviously caused by the camera and lighting conditions, but which is the closest to reality

You're welcome, Peter. No trouble at all.
You're absolutely right. Differences in color balance between different cameras, and likewise between different computer monitors, make it difficult to select colors based on photos. And furthermore, even looking at these materials with your own eyes, the colors and contrast will look different under varying lighting conditions.
My photos were taken indoors, with a mixture of incandescent and fluorescent lighting, plus the camera flash. On my computer monitor, the photos look fairly true to real life under those lighting conditions. Under natural light, i.e. sunlight, the colors do look a little bit different. Actually better, to my taste. Unfortunately I'm not at a good point to roll it out of the garage, but in any case, that would just be another photo with all the associated gotchas.
As for Mike's photo, to me it actually also looks pretty accurate to reality. But I wonder if there's some confusion due to the ambiguity of what he wrote. I think it's the inset of his seat that's pewter, and so is the armrest. Whereas the outer areas of the seat, as well as the side panels, are some other much lighter color. Mike, is that right?
