Default Help - Need an accurate photo representation of the Ford colour 'Phantom'

Help - Need an accurate photo representation of the Ford colour 'Phantom'

Have searched here but where it seems there might be a pic in a thread it always seems to be unable to load and I just get the x in a box, even when right clicking and asking it to show picture... Have tried the Ford and FPV sites but no joy either.

I had to photograph a Harley yesterday for a magazine and it was painted in Phantom but the photos looked too blue no matter what I did with the settings on the camera so I am going to have to fix the colour with some photoshop tweaks. Can anyone help with an accurate Ford photo or similar showing a car in Phantom so I can use it as a guide?

Thanks for any help.

Mods - Feel free to remove this once I have received the help and have replied as such.

I reckon it would have looked great on a Territory.
