    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!

    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.

    I know many will disagree, but I would feel a bit of ****** driving round in this scheme!

    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.

    Not really but I love it.

    It's been reported as "more blue than grey".

    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.

    I like to think better, but that presupposes they actually paint it in the correct colour. And soon.
