The Mustang looks good in WVB (to me) because the color enhances the lines of the car, and the color changes in suble ways depending on the light. On a Taurus, there's just not much to enhance, IMO.

A Taurus needs a bold color like red, black, or white to look good. WVB is too subtle, and makes the car look boring. Of course color is all a matter of preference; others may like WVB on the Taurus.

 

I'm wondering if the Legend Lime displays this sort of coloring as well. Seems to be the same type of paint as the WVB, just a different hue...

 

Domainer,
Took a couple pics today, which is overcast and misty rain. No Sunshine whatsoever. I'm waiting for another sunny day, so I can see what high noon compares with early morning and late afternoon Sun photos.

P.S. Rex, Two of these photos were taken alongside the Beef-a-Roo on South Alpine. The mural is holding up just fine over the years.

Isn't that the truth. Kind of like comparing apples to oranges. Don't look at a Taurus to see what the color is if your interested in the Mustang. The body lines are totally different, and you are not able to get a good feel for how this color will look on a Mustang 'til you see it in person.

Jax, you don't have to sell it to me anymore, I just ordered the color this morning

And very nice pics, especially the last one

Now the waiting period "really" begins :bang:



.

 

Oh Yaah! Been there, done that, and I hope, won't ever have to do it again. On the plus side, hopefully you won't have as long a wait as the rest of us who ordered back in June. Seemed like an eternity, but time went by and soon it was here. Good luck, and I know you will be keeping us posted.
Jack

 

Thanks Jax .. I will be getting the car March 4th ( so I have been told) . With that said, I am storing the car winters anyways and probably won't have her on the road until very late march/ early April anyways ..

Just trying to find a silver lining for this wait.. Ahh heck, can't stop lying to myself - This wait is gonna stink hard. ROFL.

ps - Just noticed you parked the car by a retro diner.. Cool touch for the retro car.. Thoughtful ..

Hey Jack.....Illinois - December - where's the white stuff? Lucky you!!

 

We lucked out again. Went north and south of us. We got a half inch Christmas morning, but temps went back to high 40's and its all gone. Works for me though.

I finally picked my Mustang GT today. I hope to post pictures as soon as I can figure out how. My car is the first Windviel Blue Varsity Ford in Ann Arbor Mi. has seen or delivered and they are a very large old dealership. This is the second identical car that I have ordered. The first one has been on order since 10/06 /04 and I have still not received a VIN. although Customer Relations says it has been submitted to the plant for scheduling. The car I picked up today is the exact car ordered on 11/11/04 and was built 12/20/04& delivered12/29/04. I drove it home in the dark in heavy traffic&thick fog.Very stressful 50mi.So far very impressed. Tomorrow I plan to drive it over to the other dealer to pick up my deposit.I bought for Z plan $24,785.46+ tax,plates & title transfer.First dealer said that they would be marking up $5000.00 for cars in stock. They will probably be glad to refund my $200 to make an additional$5000+.

 

Probably not, at least not to the same degree. It's the color itself, not so much the type of paint, that cause the changes under different lighting conditions.

WVB is essentially medium gray with a strong blue component. If you GIMP pictures of WVB cars, you will find that the color value is something like #5n7n9n, although this varies widely depending on the light. So it's "blueish gray" with a pinch of green (which is why it tends toward cyan in some of the pictures under an overcast sky). It is also affected quite strongly by polorizing filters, which is why some of the pictures you see are really deep blue on sunny days.

Light Graphite cloth changes in a similar way. On an overcast day it looks pretty dark, but it really lightens up on a sunny day.

Redfire is another interesting color. On a sunny day it looks bright red, but under an overcast sky it gets darker and shifts toward magenta.

 

Finally got a sunny day to finish my observation of the Windveil Blue color variation at different times of the day, with full sun. For consistancy, the front is facing East in all photos. When the Sun is high in the sky, there is less variation of color change, than after sunrise or before sunset. Attached are my findings.

Good observation, Jaxxon. I'm very happy with my Windveil Blue V6. I don't care if the color was first introduced on the Taurus; the Mustang makes that color look good.

 

Windveil Blue. What a great color choice. Would I do it again? Sure 'nuff. I just can't stay away from it. Gotta have it, so I have an '06 GT on order that should be here before Thanksgiving.
Jaxxon

 

Jaxxon, you are the man! Just had to have another one. I still go gaga over mine and get plenty of comments on how nice the color is. So are you back to clean / unscheduled?
