[diggs00]

IS that swiss aqua? or coral reef or? I know its something like that, great color! Awesome rig too! ;D

Looks like a Toyota color. I recently took this photo thinking the color would good on my '62 Ranchero project.
Looks like a match, right down to the Wimbledon White!

So, I did some searching and I think it is referred to as "Dusky Blue"

As stated above, it's quite close to the modern FJ Cruiser color, but might not be an exact match. FJ color looks lighter in tone to me.

I agree, that toyota fj looks to be a tad lighter. I am searching the great google for dusky blue but cant find anything

Looks similar to the color used by Icon for their Reformer Bronco

Special W code Marlin Blue with Blue interior

Thanks TX SS

Knowing Ford, the actual name and code probably depend on what year Bronco it's on.
One year it would be called one thing, and the next it would have a completely different name!

One of the gang that met last night here had an old faded original in that color. I'll see if I can get a color code and model year to add to the info.

Looks like the color I painted my bedroom! haha

From Lowes they called it "Royal Grey".

Friend's Bronco is probably V code "Brittany Blue" for his '68.
It's faded, but still matches the tone almost exactly. It's complete too, so I bet if he had it buffed out and spit shined a bit, it would look pretty good.
It does say "poly" though, which in Ford-speak means metallic if I remember correctly. Nothing left of any metal flake in his paint, and the one posted up here originally certainly doesn't look metallic in any way either.



Also had a super example of original paint Wimbledon White at the gathering last night. Guy's owned it since '88 and it's been very well cared for. Should have taken a pic I guess, since I don't remember seeing an example of WW in the Master Color Picture Thread.

Thanks for sniffin around DD.
Brittany blue was my first choice but there is something about that non-metallic Marlin Blue. I think it gives the bronco a more vintage/modern feel.

Check out this rig in Marlin Blue:

Non-metallic all the way.

We went with Audi Nardo grey on ours. Just wait until you see it in the sunlight....

 

[diggs00]

Very nice!! congrats and well done
I think Audi initially launched that color on the TT

Yeah I believe you are correct.

We started this restoration and picked this color almost 4 years ago now. In that time, I have seen so many variations of non-metallic grey's applied to cars new and old. It was my idea first and now I look like the copy cat!
