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.

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.

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.
