is this a car you are looking at? how about calling the seller and asking them to get the paint code off the under side of the hood.....camera can make colors look really wrong depending on the lighting and settings
Red?
I'm color blind, at least that is what my wife told me when I could not tell the difference between "summer spice" and "cordoven" in the Leggs Eggs (stockings)
kinda looks like mine... and mine is lapis.. but i'm just a newbie lol it really depends on the light/sun. mine looks 10 different colors depending on what time it is
Thanks for all the replies. It's a 2003. I'll try and get the paint code.
Marc - I totally agree about the wheels. Unfortunately that part of the car is non-negotiable.
There were three standard blue colors available in 2003: Midnight Blue Metallic, Lapis Blue Metallic and Cobalt Blue Metallic. This appears to be Midnight Blue Metallic, but you can confirm with the code. I believe the paint code for Midnight Blue Metallic is L39.
The color code for Midnight Blue is indeed L39 but when trying to do some paint matching I discovered there are something like 5 different shades
My car, which is L39, happens to use the lightest version of Midnight Blue.
On my Certificate of Authenticity It gives me a exterior paint color/code of Midnight Blue Metallic/E9. The photo looks the same as my color but it is definitely hard to tell in just a photo..
Also your computer monitor makes a difference, lol. When I viewed this from work, I swore it looked like mine (lapis). Now that I'm home (on my Macbook), it looks way dark, like Midnight Blue.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
