Talking to my paint guy about custom colors, he said that they are doing so many things with paint these days, it would be more practical, less expensive and easier to touch up if I chose a stock color from a newer car. He advised me to drive around the dealerships, find a color I liked and go with that.
I wanted to stay in the vicinity of the original color, so I looked for blue-green cars. One sunny day, I spotted this color on a Dodge Journey and it blew me away.
It has a LOT of pearl in it and NO metalflake. On a cloudy day it looks like a very dark blue-green. When the sun hit, it comes alive!
