Please help me decide on a color...

[Mr. Wolfe]

I'm just looking them up on my mixing station computer. I don't have the books for anything that old but I can look through current ones in a bit to see if anything stands out. You could also just pick something out of a solids book like this.

Thanks for all of your help. I am very interested in learning more about that Messienblau color.

I think what you may be looking for is closer to turquoise.

Not a problem. Glad to be able to help where I can since I've gained so much from people here. If I get a chance today I'll mix some up and do a spray out for you.

OEM e30 color called mineral blue.

Wow, that would be incredible. Thank you.

Yes, I have seen this before. It is a little dark for the look I am going after. I am trying to find a pastel without looking feminine. It's not easy...

Not bad, but a little too grey and too dark. Plus, I am trying to do a non-e30 color.

Light blue is tricky, fine line between cute and cool.

Yeah, it's the rest of the car that pulls the color off. It has to be done just right or it'll look wrong. Cute, or worse, cheap. It really needs to be immaculate. Rims, trim, interior, all on point.

I love that Riviera Blue on that 2002.

[kronus]

what about fjord?

I have a strong love for Technoviolet, Avus Blue and Estoril Blue, but I'd love to see an E30 with a completely off the wall color.

Fiji Green, Sephia, Lila, Dakar Yellow, Malachite Green, or Fashion Red II.

So here's the spray out. It looks more like the second pic. More grey/blue than blue/grey if that makes any sense? I honestly don't think it would look right, but thats just my opinion.

I would go for something a bit different like 4276 here.

Thank you. Is that second picture of the same color?? That looks totally grey.

Mr. Wolfe

[Mr. Wolfe]

If you feel it is close to one of these, that may be what I am looking for.

Yep, that's the same spray out! Pictures really depend on the lighting, I'd say it's close to that secon one you posted. Maybe a little more grey. Keep in mind I'm in a shop with flourescent lights. I tried to turn it in the second one to reflect what it actually looked like vs what the camera sees.
