Re: Any idea what color this is

Dodge had a deep mid blue, they called ''ULTRA BLUE.''

Seeing a sideview on a computer and seeing the truck outside on a bright day are two different dimensions.

Re: Any idea what color this is

Unfortunately everyone's computer is going to show the color differently than your eyes viewed it. Your best bet is to go used car shopping as it is a late model multi-stage color. Or find a huge parking lot and cruise around until you find a comparable color.

Good luck

Thanks for everyone’s input I’m going to do some searching for pictures of those colors online and see if I can locate one to look see in person at a local car lot.

Re: Any idea what color this is

If thinking either Admiral blue or the viper blue will be my choice looking to see if I can find one locally to see in person.

Nice! I would like for my truck to be the dark blue like from '71, but I ain't going there with a new paint job.

2016 honda accord still night pearl.

One of coworkers drives one. He's been off for a couple weeks and is back today. Seeing his car reminded me of your thread.

Re: Any idea what color this is

I'd go with Corvette Laguna Blue used on 2014-2016 C7 Vette. Earlier years used a Laguna Blue, but much different

That’s a tad too dark for ABM.

ABM is bad ass color though, and would look great on a 67-72. My 3,000 mile 2010 Camaro SS in ABM.

Vette laguna blue and jet stream blue are both really good looking colors too.

I think the truck in question might be GM Hyper blue metallic.

Re: Any idea what color this is

There are some crazy cool vehicle colors out there these days. I shudder to think what it costs to repaint them. I'm an old-school single-stage lacquer fan, personally. #Dinosaur
