I think I'd like a brighter blue than 'Gulf'. I also think 'Glacier' is too dark.
So I'm down to a choice between 'Crystal' and 'Pastel'.
Pastel seems a clean bright blue, very nice.
Crystal has maybe a twist of yellow in it. Quite unusual.
Gulf Blue
Crystal Blue
Pastel Blue
Glacier Blue

Crystal Blue
Pastel Blue
If anyones got any more photos of a car they confidently know is 'Crystal' I'd love to see them.

I'm fairly sure that this '68 T/R is Crystal Blue:

Thanks Andy.
Nigel also sent me some shots of the same car.
I do like this colour (and I really like that car).

Paul, this is an original blue RS touring that I've just seen, that I think is Glacier Blue.
(Oversize wheel just on for example)
cheers, Mike.

Yes built by Russell. Beautiful car with some wonderful detail but ludicrous price now its turned up at Gmund. Think it's currently owned by a Neil Primrose.
At sub 40K tempting but at 60K no way. It's been priced at what the bits and the work to build cost not what it's worth ...
Ian.

Nice choice Paul: will contrast nicely with any black on the car

Yeah, thanks Barry. I've got you calling me 'Thelma' and now Bootsy's pet name for me is 'Crystal'
Even I'm unsure of my sexuality now.

Those were the days, the sun was bright, the air was clear: it all seems so long ago.
What's for dinner BTW, Mince?
