The many hues of Dark Blues > post your favorite

1989 Cadillac color... can't remember the code but it was "Stunning" day or night...!

Lots of "Mica" giving it a "Pearle" hue of Black and Blues and contrasted beautifully with the Lighter blue chassis!

 

Hands down my favorite is an old Mazda color called Montego Blue Mica. Sometimes looks green when photographed, or in direct light. Hard to describe, but it's really something. It was a stock color on the RX-7 and on a few Miatas. Still might end up painting the Edsel this color.

 

A longtime favorite of mine and very dark blue is Ferrari Blu Scuro. Color Code is 510 - from 1967.

 

Here is my favorite blue. Almost a direct knock off for the original blue on my 48 ford. It is 1974 Volvo Royal Blue. I also used it on one of my 55 Nomads. It looks blue under a sunny sky and black when it is cloudy. Pat.

 

one I saw recently is a new replacement I think for indigo blue from GM.. Imperial blue they call it.




of course its on trucks and the like as well. looks vibrant in sun and dark when not..

 

closest to a classic I could find it on.

 

GM INDIGO BLUE.

 

My old Coupe! Flat Blue.

 

Anyone know the paint code for Washington Blue?

 

I love the flat blues... not sure how it would look on a 61-66 ford truck tho.

 

'06 Ford blue - forget the name right now, I like it in person. ford on ford?

 

I do like the color... Ive seen it or something very similar on a new mustang and new f150.. looks good.. im no paint guru, but it seems the gm paint has a more vibrant color about it... could it be the type of flake?

GM Imperial Blue


I'm all about ford purity... but, havent found a ford color that grabs ya other than the candy red that is popular on mustangs...

 

My HOK candy lapis blue over oriental blue base.
I wish I had pictures from before the wreck but I didn't Think to take pictures of my own car, so here's one of some damage. Oh well, It's getting close to being ready to paint it again anyway


And This one shows more contrast

 

OUCH! man, I hate to see that. Good luck

I don't like paints that change colors - I've lost way too many cars that way in parking lots.

 

06 Ford, true blue...dig it...

 

Beautiful work... what color is it?

Thanks...my dad painted it.

1936 Ford Washington Blue.

 

Just a question on "Washington Blue". Did it vary quite a bit over the years it was used on Ford production lines?

rodncustom, Your Dad does NICE work!

 

Seems like there is... some seem more blue.. while others more black.

 

I just found my new favorite blue!

 

I'm planning to use it on my '64 Ford truck.

 

Cool, how far away from paint are ya?
