You’re right on the colour Steve. Got to also consider a few other technical things too.
Cameras do all kinds of funny adjustments to create what they think is a faithful rendition to produce an image that reflects how your eyes see the same scene. Then you’re probably viewing it on a non calibrated screen for the colour-space that the image is stored in (sRGB for internet images - there are better ones available). Then devices don’t show the colour space properly but iPads tend to be good). Chances of all this lining up are quite slim if your looking at something like exact colour.
Unless you know how it’s processed and know what your viewing it on you can never be sure.
But, looking at the photo and the colour of the light falling on it, I would think the bonnet and tops of the side panel are the areas I would trust. My judgement is it is probably a Dakar.
