Cliche subject, but at some point you just gotta do sharks.

Actually I was hoping to simplify things a bit as I try to develop 
skills in uv maps, lighting and texturing.


In my posted examples, issues of modelling and some uv mapping glitches 
aside, my question is, does anyone here know what color these animals 
actually are?  Any shark afficionados out there?

I was using this as a reference
http://www.discoverydiving.com/shark_gallery.htm
Can anyone help me analyse what I am actually seeing there in terms of 
the animal's skin color and finish?

The renders posted are
1) Monochrome shark to give some sense of the lighting and normal
2) Bitmapped color added v1
3) same bitmap brightened and desaturated a bit
