Show me your Venetian Blues.......
I'm considering a new purchase which is Venetian Blue. From the pictures I've come across here the color seems a bit lifeless compared to some of the other darker blues like Prussian Blue and Marine Blue for example.
I was hoping that some Venetian Blue owners could post pictures of their cars and prove me wrong. Thanks

In some light venetian blue can look a little washed out in pictures. It's one of the nicest colors in my opinion...I'm a little biased though. Here's a couple of my car.

Don,
Don't usually like polished Fuchs but they look great on your very nice car.

Thanks Jorian. Those pixs are a couple years old. The polished wheels were sold to another pelican a while back. The car has factory finish fuchs on it now.

I've been thinking about all black for my 7's and 9's. I think it looks really mean.

Looks like you have an interest in a 930 from NY...is it Venetian Blue? These pics are a couple of years old. I did just wax her a few weeks ago with P21S but no pics to show. It's a difficult color that doesn't "translate" well to a photo. But have a look at the difference with lighting. Is it grey? Silver? I've heard green but not often. See it live if you can and drive it!!

![]() ![]() ![]() Edit: whoops, didn't realize these were all different sizes. In person, the color looks like a gunmetal grey. Grey, with shades of blue in it. Having Fuchs painted the same uncommon color is pretty neat, IMO.
