The Ford Barn

I am about to send my 1928 Leatherback to have it painted. I can't decide what color to go with. I would like to go with a 1928 or 29 color used on the Fordor. I have the Model A Paint and Finish Guide, 3rd Edition Revised, but cant tell from thoes tiny paint chips what the whole car will look like. For example, the Rose Beige and Bramble Brown look the same and the Thorne Brown looks almost black. Can you post a picture of your car if its painted one of the 1928 or 29 Fordor colors:
Balsam Green
Copra Drab
Rose Beige
Andalusite Blue
Bonnie Grey
Vagabond Green
Thorne Brown
Bramble Brown
In fact, can you post a picture even if you strayed from the traditional colors? Pics of other body styles with the above colors welcome too.
Thank you!

I think a big Sedan would look the best in a darker color. Here is Rose Beige, Seal Brown.

Here is my 1929 Town Sedan in Ford Maroon.
