I think it was too little grey, too much blue. I think it's the most elegant blue besides pozzi yet still has an element of sport to it.
My problem with it was it simply does not appear like that on a sample when viewed from a few feet away. Here is a reposting of the photo I took of an actual,factory sample done for me and reconfirmed as such, it has very strong metalflake green and red particles in it. It is a very strange colour and so puzzled was I that as we had no sun in the UK I even bothered to take it on vacation to the Caribbean to check! Image Unavailable, Please Login
My car is a very metallic light blue (BMW Atlanticblau) and I was curious about your experiment, so to say. A few weeks ago I took a phone pic, then zoomed in, and the result is very similar to that, with noticeable green and purple-pink particles.
Two great pics: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJgtGA6AyH2/?tagged=f12tdf&hl=en https://www.instagram.com/p/BJjgAcLg-e-/?tagged=f12tdf&hl=en
saw this today. it is far better looking in real life than in photo. standard f12 is nice but this is nicer! and the wheels are specially made with matte blue paints on it! Image Unavailable, Please Login

I think Traveller posted a pic of the octopus exhausts of the 70s f1 cars that had the same treatment but no one really knew how they were done on the tdf. Dcmetro lure: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJtq3BBDu62/?hl=en Camlet's mate: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJqF1P6j4Zg/?hl=en
So that's where you draw the line? A stripe and it's game over. No pun intended. Is it the configuration of the livery, ill executed homage or just an unnecessary exercise in nostalgia? I mean driving a tdf can be considered ****** move already so adding some stripes doesn't seem that like much of a stretch.
I think actually it's the numbers and roundels etc that take it over the top, not the stripe.as I have said before slavish reproduction of an historic scheme on a contemporary car does not guarantee aesthetic success, at least in my eyes.

It looks like a mix of Grigio Titanio and Blu Ahrabian. I have no idea but it's a very sophisticated colour. Maybe a set of diamond or silver wheels with some silver or grey calipers and that would be one timeless tdf.
