    What blue is closest to the BMW blue?

    Looking to rattle can a few small parts and was wondering what blue most resembles the BMW blue?

    Idk what the name of it is. And if you dont find out you could always have some rattle can made up and just take an old roundel in to use as a color match.

              ^Dude you resurrected an old solved thread.

              The color the OP was looking for is the color that is the blue on the BMW roundels, and not the color of his car.
