Suggestions for Ecurie Ecosse Blue?

[Trainman]

I am looking for any ideas for matching the 50's/60's Ecurie Ecosse blue that they used on the D Type Jaguars. Something to try on my E-Type.

It is called Flag Metallic Blue, and the Ecurie Ecosse web site has a bit of history on it here: http://www.ecurieecosse.com/colour_and_emblem.html



Anything close in GT5?

Thanks,
Tman

Hard to tell from the few pictures on that web site and differences in actual displayed colors. Thinking maybe Bay Side Blue (M) or Blue Mica Metalic?

Good luck!

Thanks!

And I thought everyone would know what kind of blue I was looking for.

Now if this was in the game, no problems:

Ecurie Ecosse, a former motor racing team and now a tuning specialist, has revealed its personalization program for the 2009 Jaguar XF sports sedan.

Drool.........

Some others in the colour I am looking to match:

Anyway, I think that gets the idea out there!

The Ecurie Ecosse blue seems to differ slightly through the years. I use Monaco Blue (Aston Martin) on my cars.

Not sure whose colour it is (Think it may be an Aston Martin's) but it looks fairly close.

Thanks daan, that looks good to me! So I have a couple of colours to try out.

Try Alpine Blue. You can get it from the Alpine 1600's. Very close to the color you're trying to emulate.

Thanks for the suggestion DR. I have the A110 but I find the colour a bit to light/bright for what I imagine the Flag Blue is supposed to look like.

Alpine: France, with french blue

Ecurie Ecosse: Scotland, with a Scottish blue

Well, the color "Bleu Alpine" (on both Alpines), looks almost identical to what is pictured above in the D-Type (?, or maybe a modified E-Type Race Car). The color doesn't look anything like the French Blue you pictured. It's far closer to the "Scottish Flag Blue" below it.


Just my opinion though...
