How can you see the Actual colors of custom Moto X parts?

[AndroidIsMyThing]

I think that I have found a perfect color combo for my new Moto X, but I want to be sure I'm getting the colors that I see on my computer screen. A while back, I ordered some wall decals on the internet, and they ended up being a little off from what I got. Is there any way to do this and does any store have samples of the colors? Also, it would be great if someone had an actual picture of a Moto X with a teal back and royal blue highlights, as that is the scheme I am considering.

Thanks!

Edit: Sorry, ignore what I said below about the Teal. The Teal back was a motomaker screenshot... the post before it was a live photo.

Somebody just posted their delivered X with teal back with blue accents on the "show off your design" thread. Looks good!

Unfortunately, I don't think the carriers have much incentive to put a full Motomaker display like some did with the 2013 X. Hopefully they do something like a Verizon site had last year where they had the backs fanned out in a color wheel and it only took up one phone display location.

Moto Maker website is TERRIBLE at portraying accurately how your customized device will look. The navy leather in real photos doesn't look anything like the website.

I have to agree. My 2013 navy blue back was much darker in person, so I was a bit disappointed in the color, but the purple I chose this time is actually much nicer with a richer color in person than it looked on Moto Maker, where it looks almost blue. I like purple so I took a chance and am happy, but I wonder how many phones are returned because the color they get isn't anything like what they thought it would be?

At least they have a 14 day return policy so that you can redesign the phone if you dislike it.

I love Moto Maker (i ordered my phone this way), but the colors on the website seem terribly inaccurate. I think they should assemble and photograph every combination of the Moto X and have an option to have that photograph emailed to you or displayed on the site.

I caught a lot of flak about saying the Motomaker site looked cartoonish instead of photo-realistic. Things haven't changed with Gen2. That's a shame. And that's why I'm extra grateful for everyone who does post pics of their actual devices so others can get a better idea of the true coloration.

Agreed, the renders on MotoMaker look very different than "real world" photos.
