Default Accurate color representation - Molten Pearl (pics inside)

For those of you that own a MP RC or have been around one for some time, what is the most accurate color representation.

On google or autotrader, almost ever picture is different. There is no local cars around to see in person so can someone post a picture of how it looks most of the time? So many pics are way too dark or way to washed out. Attached are some photos I found with various orange coloring.

Thanks!

From what I've seen of this car in person, the color represented by the second to last picture seems the least accurate.

TLDR; this color changes from the type of sun that is outside and what lighting is around it. When in the sunset you'll get a deeper orange, when in the shade it looks like a dark orange etc...
  1. This is what it looks like when its really sunny outside or when its going into the sun set. The orange gets deeper when its sunset time.
  2. Not normally this bright. Possible when its very cloudy outside but light enough clouds to let the sun through
  3. Accurate for it being in the shade/sun at the same time
  4. When it's very bright outside it will look lighter orange like this picture
  5. Same as previous picture.
  6. Not sure how they got this without filters. No clouds in the background so it should be very bright. Possibly with higher shutter speed?
  7. Very brigh outside camera focused on the cars paint. It's normally not so contrastual with the black

All my pictures have no filters on them




This was taken when it was pitch black outside. I used 25 second shutter to take this.





This was around 2pm in Texas. Half sun Half shade





Sunny day against my sisters NX so you can compare the two





more contrast





more contrast





The day I got it at the dealer in shade





mix of cloudy/sunny day





Taken at night under the white lights at the pump





I forget but its against my house





In the shade during a sunny day

Molten Pearl is an active paint !!!
Color variate from times when photo is taken to light that is surrounding the car.
A lot of those photos in the first post have **** load of filter on them...to amplify the color even more.
@ Jowsleyyy,
Have you seen one with black-carbon fiber roof ???
I was offered one before I ordered mine and now I'm just wondering how does it look in person.
