Hey guys! Looks like I'll be painting my FD along with the swap next year and I'm looking for a nice dark shade of blue.
So far, my searches have yielded Lexus's Blue Onyx Pearl, BMW's Le Mans Blue, and my current favorite, Lotus's Nightfall Blue:

Any other suggestions for a nice dark blue?
Thanks!

I've always liked Sonic Blue. Although I prefer Montego Blue.

My 2004 G35 is the darkest blue I'ver ever seen. People think it's black when not in sunlight. I would prob paint the FD this color if my G wasn't already this color. This is a bad picture of it since it's in the rain with no sunlight but there ya go.

Sepang Blue Pearl Effect
Ultrasonic Blue Metallic
Did you know that some females - apparently an estimated 2 or 3 percent - can see far more colors than males? Those of us with the normal 3 kinds of cones in our eyes, trichromats, theoretically can distinguish about ~1,000,000 different colors. Some women, known as tetrachromats, have a fourth kind of cone, theoretically allowing them to see ~100,000,000 colors.

If you're looking for a super duper dark blue, check out Subarus Midnight Black Pearl. Its a very blue black.

BMW Indi Blue Pearl.
I painted my civic hatch this color back in 03 or so. Got a TON of compliments. Wish I could find some pics but I keep coming up empty-handed.

I do like Interlagos a lot.
Sonic and Sepang blue are a little brighter than I was looking for and Twilight Blue (G35) and Midnight Black Pearl are both pretty much black haha. Looking for something in between those.

That is my Lemans. I love it for being an option on the car I wanted although I would have to say if I was color changing and could do ANY blue I am sure there is something I would like more. Look into a custom pearl maybe?
