Best color for Gulf blue?

It's been discussed (I'm not saying you should have looked, just that it's there) and Fresh Blue from the Subaru 360 '58 has been pointed out as a good fit. Maybe @hsv could take a little time when possible to update the OP with some of the more notable ones. 👍

Never thought of that. Let's get to work!

Thanks, scanned the thread. Must have missed it.

Thanks to all users credited for their efforts. If anyone feels as though their efforts have been overlooked, please say something as this is not my intention.

That about does it for the time being. If anyone can come up with names of some of the responded-to other vehicles and/or their colors, I'll gladly update. I'll also peruse other areas of the forum for requests such as this and update.

 

[TexRex]

Nevermind.

 

[TheFlyingScot]

Only that color does not exist.

Oh yeah, I'm thinking of GT5. Annoyed that its gone but oh well. Sorry for my mistake... Do you know of any colours which are close to if not match York Green then? Closest I can find at the moment is Java from the Triumph Spitfire.

I don't know of any off the top of my head and I don't have access to the game right now. Try the V12 Vantage or LFA.

 

[Dan]

Anything that matches this?

Also, if anyone here who plays GTA V, can you help me match this, too? I'm not so good with the metallic/pearlescent paints. Since this part doesn't match up with the topic of the thread, could you perhaps PM me here on GTP?

Try Blu Celeste Met. from the Ferrari Dino 246 GT '71. It's not perfect but it was the first on my Metallics list that came anywhere close (and the pictured--er, uh...car --looks pretty metallic to me). I'll keep looking if you really don't want to pay the 90k or if you would like a better match.

It's a good match, but I think it is too light. The picture I posted is a bit darker and has a little more blue/green to it.

As far as you're concerned, am I right to be looking in Metallics? Or do you think I should choose another finish? (I have well over 1500 paints.)

I apologize for any obscure references to Queen songs in my posts.

I think metallics is a good place to start. Seems right with the way the picture looks.

Try Azzurro le Castellet Metallizzato from the Alfa Romeo GT 3.2 V6 24V '04. Closer but perhaps in need of a little green.

Polar Silver is just about perfect, and that makes sense because it was an original Volkswagen color used on the Beetle. The only catch is the vehicle that it's on; Audi Pikes Peak quattro '03 at a staggering 1,250,000Cr. I'll keep looking.

Best color for Gulf blue?

Pathfinder Blue Pearl, it's a TVR color.

@CallmeDan I haven't been able to find anything better than that Alfa chip (aside from Polar Silver), even after looking through Solids and Pearlescents.

Somebody I know races with the color I said on his cars and it is spot-on compared to the Subaru color.

 

[Griffith500]

They're looking for the colour to match the Bug-atti pic posted. I think you're talking about the Gulf blue colour?

I used the Subaru 360 colour from my own search (didn't like it, my GT40's green now), I didn't think to check TVR. Maybe next time!

That post wasn't to say you're wrong, I just replied to my own post just to point out the discussion and to clear up the fact that it took place elsewhere on the forums so as to not fault anyone for having missed it.

I think you're talking about the Gulf blue colour?

He is. He posted a reply to someone's request for it and I followed with something related but not in response to his reply. So many 're's.

Trying to paint my One-77 this shade of green. The factory Aston color Viridian Green is too intense, Almond Green is too soft. Any suggestions?

That's a spectacular hue! Give Seafrost Metallic from the Jaguar S-Type R '02 a try. Just know that you'll only be as original as the second person to use the color. Just kidding, I don't even have the car.

 

[R5]

Scrolling through Facebook when a colour library page posted this. I want to see what a 458 looks like with it.

Anything similar?

Try Deep Pink Metallic from the Mitsubishi Colt 1.5 Sport X Version '02--there are no Solids in that particular hue.

Eh I wouldn't mind the whole category thing so long as it wasnt chrome, colour shift or matte, and I'll try that ASAP thanks

 

[danhighway]

Can anyone match this blue? Really want to see how my own BTR would look in this.

Gran Turismo Blau from the SLS AMG?

Thanks. I'll give that a look. That One-77 green reminds me of the color on the DBR9 race cars from years ago.

The Japanese "number 7", from one of the seasonals a while ago, might be close (if you have it). Perhaps a little on the dull side. I think you can find it in pearlescent.

Gran Turismo Blau from the SLS AMG?

It looks nice but it's bit intense of a blue. I tried WR blue mica but that doesn't seem right either. The closest one I found was Bleu Alpine.
