Have you toned down the colour?
Look a lot more pale than the images about or is it just the light/camera playing tricks.
Either way looks stunning can't wait to get pictures like these of mine.

It's the same colour it's just one of those colours that looks totally different in different lights.
A few more pictures
The shell is wet in these pictures as it had been washed down after the roof had been flattened down ready for lacquer.
