A color to keep on your radar.
 
I did the Distinguished Gentlemen's Ride yesterday and a guy had a Royal Enfield that he had swapped out a whole lot of parts for retro ,then painted the tank etc (early car) MG Ice Blue. It looked spectacular.

My sincerest...

I SHOULD have taken photos and I SHOULD have taken a pic of that bike.

Me being a Kiwi, I could have just been sleeping on the couch and made the whole story up, so photos next time.

Iris Blue was the color of many early MGB’s. My 1965 was made that way but suffered an awful repaint dark blue. Iris Blue is a wonderful color. You are correct. It is stunning.

Porsche's Ice Blue Metallic is one of my favorite colors

I had an instant flashback to the old Fruit of the Loom car. I know the color is different, but WOW! Blast from the past!

yes, those are nice blues. I feel light blue is the easiest color to get wrong. It seems it can either look fantastic - or yuk. And nothing in between.
