I think the term "baby blue" sounds horrible. Maybe you should have said "sky blue".

The Mini-Coopers last year had a color only available on the S models. It was a light blue metallic and was a VERY nice shade. This would look great with either white, pearl white or light silver stripes.

You can see an example here:

Imports have some of the best colors out there these days :)

i guess i should have said north carolina tar heal blue. that is the color I really like. not so much the metalic. I actually think early chevelles had a powder blue on them if i am correct. that mini is a nice color but i really like the nc blue. what do you think i am trying to find a pic. of what i mean.

I really like it when the interior of the car compliments the exterior.
For me, it changes the car from nice... to knockout.
I would match the interior to the stripes, it ties the whole "look" together. ...therefore (IMHO) I would look at a light blue with grey stripes? (Or a white interior)

I just love this look... (very Californian though....) where the interior matches the exterior

Are you looking at this kind of color combo?

that's the ticket i do like the look of that interior. a white and blue matching interior would look great. as far as color goes it is simialr to the grabber blue that ford had. also in my searching the new chrysler sybring sp has a really nice light blue color. but again that is metalic. if you look at the N.C. colors i am thinking a combo like that.
