I think the Vista Blue looks pretty close as well. Now Windveil Blue and Tungsten are way off. Those two colors are actually identical on the website.

Yep, I'll agree with that but not the Vista Blue.

Yeah, the tungsten is way way off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't rely on ford's website when deciding on tungsten......for that matter don't rely on pics of tungsten either, in fact, see a tungsten in person if at all possible before making your decision.

Thanks Guys. I ordered a Tungsten based on the dealer swatch but the website is nothing like (light blue??)and even some of the pictures on this site don't cleary show what it is actually like. The wife seems to love it but I'm not too sure but like you say, see it in person (don't think I'll be able to before it arrives). Does anyone have a picture of the Tungsten GT with the stock painted wheels?

I just looked at my Vista blue last night I really don't think the color matches the pics that we have seen(or my dealer swatch). It was dark when I went but I really expected it to be a little lighter. As for my original post yeah my monitor at home sucks it looks more acurate here at work. Great color, going to go this afternoon to get a better look at her in the sun.

Maybe it's just my eyes but the color just looks different to me somehow.
