pastel blue versus mexico blue pics?

[BK911]

Anybody have any side by side pics of the two colors?
Trying to decide which color to paint the '73.5 coupe.
Tear down begins in a couple of weeks.

Stole this Pastel blue one from the narrow hot rod thread:



Stole this from somewhere too, but not sure what color it is: Maybe mexico blue?

In my book this is Mexico Blue... nice color !

If that is a pic of Matteo's car, if I remember the article correctly, it was actually a special tint from Mexico Blue and not the original factory color. The second car above does not look like Mexico Blue to me but then blue seems very hard to photograph with accurate color.

Now I think about it isn't Mexico Blue a 74/75 only color and therefore more likely to appear on a short hood?

Ask and you shall receive. I shot them 2 months ago for my project. Mexico on the top and Pastel on the bottom. Enjoy.

I would stick with pastel blue just because it was an option on longhoods. Mexico blue is a great color, but it would bug me after a while.

I was going to go with Mexico blue on my 356 outlaw but changed my mind when I found Glacier Blue - a 72-73 911 color. It is a shade darker than Mexico blue.

Thanks guys. I am slightly partial to Pastel.
Pretty tough decision already without throwing Glacier Blue into the mix!
Beautiful color and beautiful car.

and arrow blue is a shade darker (OK, actually Bahama Blue is a shade darker than Glacier Blue) then Arrow Blue is a shade darker (and with a little grey) darker than bahama Blue

Bahama Blue:


Arrow Blue (kiwiokie's car)


Arrow Blue (My Car)

Bonjour,

Do you have a pic showing a Pastel Blue close to a Mexico Blue ?

Would you say Pastel blue is LIGHTER than Mexico

and

Mexico LIGHTER than Glacier ?

I am going to look monday to a Targa 2.4 Pastel Blue.
Many thanks for your kind help

I'm digging the Arrow!
