Default Spa Yellow AP1 vs. AP2 Rio Yellow Differences

I have not had the chance to park my car against an AP2 2004-05-06. Can someone tell me the difference between Spa Yellow and Rio Yellow?

The only time I saw a newer AP2 on the road, the colors looked pretty close.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks very much. My car has more a pearl finish with much, much smaller metallic flakes.

It looks like there is some red thrown in there too.

The Spa Yellow seems to have a greenish hue in dim light and the metallic finish is more obvious at off angles.

This answers a lot of questions. One of them, not to buy one of the new hardtops because it won't match at all.

Exactly. Both are very nice colors.
