Default What is this Blue?

Can someone tell me what colour this is?



I think its Royal Blue. Asking for a friend as we are going to view it next few days, just a Classic SE but hes strapped for cash and its come up for a cracking price.

Also, anyone else got any photos of their blues (eg, Atlantic/odessey/midnight) that is pretty close to this, would be great to see and show him!

I originally thought the colour I had was Midnight Blue - which is a dark flat light absorbing colour - and that's what it looks like you have there.

However after I had cleaned the car I found the car's real colour was Royal Blue Pearlescent, which has a two-tone sparkly effect depending on where you stand and where the light is hitting it. IF the sun is out it's easy to tell.

Also check the paint code on the plate inside the car - JFM is Royal Blue Pearlescent, JQW is Midnight Blue.


Cheers
Leander

I'm sure it's midnight blue as messenger was selling one and that's the same colour
