Hi Norm,

Let me first say I think it's a great idea! With the good quality of  
the pictures on your site it will help a lot of people to evaluate  
colors correctly.

Some suggestions:

In my browser the pictures and text align right. Right would seem  
more easy to the eye.

Would it be an idea to connect the name (text) to the picture with a  
frame around them? This would immediately make clear what belongs to  
each other.

Although I think the current picture size is very good (read perfect)  
maybe it would be nice to see the color on different models. A color  
looks very different on a sedan dan on a convertibel for instance.  
But then the picture would need to be a bit smaller.

Example
Year 1965
---------------------------------------------------------------
Color: Crocus Yellow
Pictures: Sedan - Coupe - Convertible
---------------------------------------------------------------

It's more work but over time most pictures could be collected I  
think. If you show what is missing on the site maybe it would call on  
people to send the missing image.

Good luck with a good idea!
