I'm feeling the powder blue. I don't know enough about color theory to speak intelligently about it but I really like the "solid" colors. Audi made a battle ship grey/ putty color a few years ago for the TT that I flipped for.
It's something about colors that don't have any "depth" to them. They almost look like vinyl wraps. If anyone has studied art or design, I'd like to have what I'm talking about explained.

Too light.. to pastel..
Just my .02
It's hard to have a color like that and not have it look washed out or "baby blue".
The color on II Much is quite a bit darker and far more vibrant.

The Lambo is Baby/Carolina Blue ,that angle and lighting make it look like its metallic or something but its not.

I don't know why you guys keep talking about blue. All I see is Black, and it looks good from the rear... lol

I like it. Almost similar to the stock color my 78 Malibu came in. If I was painting my Malibu that would definately get consideration over the stock Pastel Blue.

That is the same color as the one I posted Vince. Jet Stream Blue. It is a pearl color that changes as light hits it, very cool color IMO

The blue on the lambo is very much like the Gulf race cars. The porsche's from the 70's racing at LeMans come to mind. With the right accents I would dig it!

Not so sure about the Lambo, but that Jet Stream Blue from the Corvette is gorgeous. I'm trying to convince my dad to paint his '64 El Camino that color.

I'm with you, I didn't even notice the blue until I went back and looked again...The black looks especially good with the blonde trim.

The Lambo blue looks cool on the Lambo,that color on a 60's or P T car might look like One Day Paint, $129.95. Go with the Gulfstream Blue, or an O E M blue that strikes you. You'll know it when you see it drive by......

when i look at that blue i think laguna seca, a darker ...still pastel"ish" blue, factory m3 color. i dont think it has any metallic to it "if it does its not much" which gives it the look due to most blues having a metallic to them. here is a few pictures of laguna seca blue.

i really do like the color, it definately depends on the style of the car to if it would look good or not, the right extras could either set it off and make it look like a show ride or like the guy that got his car painted carolina blue at maaco for 299.99 i had debated this on our other 55 for about 5 minutes until i realized it wouldnt go with all of the chrome. i think this is close to II much's color but in other lights it looks darker so i dont know
here is another color, hypnotic teal mica its the color were using on the 11 sec honda crx. looks blue in one light olive drab in another, another pastel.

check out vw color code L79 called gulf blue, its turqoisey with a hint of gray in it. I highly suggest looking at vintage VW colors if you dont want metallics they are different but subtle.
