I am 99% percent certain I want to paint my car black, but I ran across this the other day and I'm a little tempted to change my mind.

I have looked and looked but cannot find a color code for this car. Does anyone have any idea what it is?
 
Need to see what you are looking at Tab. Nothing there.
 
Maybe a white car in a blizzard......
 
I can see it............dark blue, with a touch of pearl.
 
Pretty color on a pretty car, but I wonder if it's a bit too <span style="font-style: italic">rich</span> .....
Here's a car belonging to a club member:

I put very little faith in colors seen over the Internet; but it looks like it might be Blu Tour de France Metallic.

But don't be surprised if it turns out to be unavailable in the US. I tried to have my local body shop match a Lotus color, and they said it wasn't legal here due to high VOC.
 
I think that's the color of money...

It surely is a "Dk.(Midnight) Blue but "Pearl" in a "California Spyder"? I don`t believe "Ferrari" painted them with a "Pearl" type of paint.

So; Is this one "Real" or a "Reproduction"??

Whichever; She sure does look "Purrty"!!

The Ferrari 250 GT Short Wheel Base California Spyder shown is serial number 2561GT. It was originally red from the factory, but was painted the dark blue when it was restored about 8 years ago. That color looks great on that car.

The California Spyders command obscene amounts of money when they come up for sale...bring millions...

Maybe I can swing the Bizzarini in the background... :smile:

Uh, er, <span style="color: #000099"><span style="font-size: 14pt">BLUE</span></span>, Paul?

Have you noticed the colours of your two Triumphs lately, neither is even in the same rainbow as blue.
 
Bill, figured he had a senior moment and let that slide. :laugh:
 
Blue as on the EXTERIOR guys....you all know the rest of the story.
 
I'm fond of Triumph's Royal Blue (56) which is the original color of my first TR4A.

Royal Blue TR4A
