Pics of spa & rio side by side. Still doesn't compare to seeing the two side by side outside in the real world

Both colors are nice. Rio has more of a reddish yellow hue to it and spa has more of a subtle greenish tint, if I'm not mistaken.

You're not mistaken. I of course am partial to my Spa. When I wax my car there is like a greenish highlight in all the corners and edges of the car. It's absolutely gorgeous. Now, in the pictures the Rio looks... brighter? I think it's too.... yellow. The Rio to me looks like the yellow Chevy uses on everything from their trucks to their cobalt. Have you seen that yellow? I'm not a fan. I've always thought the green hue really set our yellow off and if they had kept the Spa hue but added more flake like the Rio it would have been perfect.
