Just pondering the difference in colours between Sand and Ivory...... Any thoughts, observations would be most welcome. I have yet to see an Ivory car in the flesh.

Yes, good idea, see them in real life.
Lots of pictures on the internet are photoshopped rather heavily. (Concerning the colors - no wrinkles on the forehead to get rid of on a Morgan...)
My first glimpse of sports sand was in our austrian "Auto Revue". Looked like a horrible shade of gold. In reality it's totally different.
If I'm not careful with the color balance settings, my ivory 4/4 comes out much too warm (yellowish) in my shots, especially when I try to improve a rather dull sky...
Only solution: look at real cars in a real world.

Royal Ivory was described at the factory as the most popular colour EVER - but recently introduced sand would get my vote.
But then, maybe sand is the 2012 equivalent of Royal Ivory!

Don't stand six paces back trying to decide between ivory or sand. Choose the colour from the drivers seat looking down that louvred bonnet.

Just like all base/main colours, it depends what colour you put with it. It can make quite a difference.
Interior trim, dash, metal finishes (chrome, ally, stainless) wheel colour, graphics etc...
That may add even more confusion for you, but perhaps if you come at it from the other end and ask yourself what colour leather you prefer, it might tip the balance for you.
