What is this color??
Looks like a cross between Mexico Blue and Cobalt blue. I assume its out of the range "upon sample" color but not sure what it is. Also, it appears very different under different light/different photographers.

Any input will be appreciated.

I had the 64 crayola box in first grade. That's definitely "Periwinkle"...

In any case it reminds me of this which I consider the ultimate extravaganza

Re: What is this color??
Paint scheme is a Gulf derivative. The paint appears to be metallic, though, unlike the CGT, which is in Gulf Blue.

It looks a little like Horizon Blue, the color of my old 56 VW.

That's a hilarious comment. I almost woke my gf up laughing out loud.

I'm thinking of getting my CS in one of these colors. A $4,000 that would be well spent.
