I was just looking at all the glorious pics of the GT and I noted the blue 'Stang pics from the February 2004 Motortrend cover. It looks darker than the Windveil and lighter than the Sonic. I read that article, but I can't remember what color they said it was.

So, is this the new Vista Blue? :scratch:

 

not for the 05MY. maybe it was just the lighting?

 

Here's vista blue -- depending on your monitor, it should look closer to azure blue from the mach1

 

That car was photochopped (just like the blue leather interior). They chopped the silver with white (or light silver I guess it was) GT.

 

Hmm, maybe vista blue is the blue in that tire/wheel ad.

 

I hope so, that color is awesome.

 

yep, no such color yet. might see it in the future. the only colors offered are in the timeline for the 05

 

I hope it's OK to post a link here:

The Feb 04 issue


OMG!!!!! MY DREAM COLOR on a Vert. To the "Powers That Be At Ford" [B]PLEASE [I]PLEASE :worship: consider this color for next year.

 

I think Vista Blue will be a blue hue of Torch Red and not metallic. So yes, probably like Azure Blue.

 

I don't know if Pantone colors relate to cars...I thought they were only for print?

I think PPG or DuPont sets the standard color codes for autos

 

The color of the 05 stang in the tire ad looks more like bright atlantic blue than that vista blue color you're talking about.

 

Yeah it does... I doubt Vista Blue will be a metallic color...

 

I think any shade of blue looks awesome on the new design.

 

I like it!

Sort of reminds me of the Pastel Blue used on the 1970 BOSS Mustangs...

I can picture that with a blacked-out hood and black 1970-style "BOSS" logos!


P.S.- any chance of bringing back "Acapulco Blue", "Grabber Green", "Wimbledon White", "Grabber Orange", "Calypso Coral" or "Bright Yellow"?

P.P.S.-- Actually, I think "Screamin' Yellow" is more than close enough to the 1969 "Bright Yellow"
