No, L90 Sand |
It could be how the photo was taken; (check settings for daylight, white balance, etc) 
My guess is it's somewhat due to shooting into (facing) the sun.  Number 1 reason for color shift/mis-match. 
Beautiful car for certain. 
Congrats!...now enjoy the well-earned fruits of all that painstaking labor!

Wow! Amazing work. Great color too!
Don't mean to hijack the thread, but it reminded me of a pic of my own split, also sand beige at the same phase in restoration. Now the fun begins...
Cheers

The wiring harness from Zarwerks was an absolute pleasure to work with. The harness basically fell into place and the super detailed instructions made sure everything was connected correctly. I have just a few small things to button up before I put power to it. Thanks John Henry for making such a nice product. If you need a wiring harness for your split beetle this is the only one to have.
