Does anyone recognize this color?
Does anyone recognize this color of blue I saw on a new Tesla? I literally noticed it from half a mile back on the freeway. The "brightest" light blue color I have ever seen in the shade, and when the sun hits it directly there is just the hint of a turquoise green pearlescence from some of the body lines and certain angles.
I thought it might look good for stripes on a customized black '69...

I'm pretty sure that's a color not offered by Tesla, so the car may have been repainted or it could be a vehicle wrap. The picture kind of looks like one of the blues used on some Mopars but it's in shadow so it's hard to tell. It may be some custom mix.

I would think that’s a wrap, but it looks similar to our B5 Blue Charger? Maybe a starting point?

Thanks for the replies!
I did have it suggested that it is a 3M wrap called "satin ocean shimmer" and after looking at some photos of that stuff online, yep, that is what is on the Tesla. Wrap not going to do it for me, as I was hoping to paint the trunk lid and side stripes this color on a black '69, kind of a Royal Bobcat tribute deal. I will probably just go with Crystal Turquoise to keep it more period looking. Trying to re-create that color would involve pearls and candy and more than 3 stages of paint, beyond my ability! LOL

Trunk lid and body stripes sounds like the perfect application for a wrap to me. Totally reversible... I think anyway?
