Color question

I'm not sure how to determine if my part is pearl gold or metallic gold. I thought all my parts were pearl gold, but some are darker than others. Is there some variation in pearl gold? Or, do I possibly have some metallic gold parts? Any suggestions?

I'm having a similar problem with flat silver.

    Flat Silver and Pearl Gold are dull compared to their slightly shiny metallic equivalents. It gets easier to spot them over time. A good way to learn how to spot Metallic Silver from Flat Silver is if you have some round 1 x 1 plates of each colour. Put them in a pile and it should be easy to spot the difference.

    Pearl colors look a little bit swirly, especially at or opposite of the sprue. Metallic colors are consistent in color. Chrome is shiny. Metallic looks like chrome that is dull.

    In my experience, the pearl gold color shows quite a bit of variation between parts and sets. Your pars could easily be all pearl gold, with some darker than others.
