Preparing to paint my 850 - figured I may as well keep it a Volvo color. Google/Bing isn't getting me far without actual names. Taking suggestions for the truest blue the company has put out. Examples would be much appreciated as well. Thanks!

Nautique is a metallic paint, i think its color code 417 or 412? Laser Blue is a great color as well

Funny you mention Audi - 'cuz I've been leaning toward Audi Sepang Blue:
Laser....Sepang...gloss or satin...decisions, decisions. Btw, blue is the lower 2-tone color; black above the waist.
Thanks to everyone for suggestions. You're making this fun!

The color I was thinking of doing mine is mitsubishi electric blue
or Lexus spectra blue
But damn that audi blue looks good
Actually though I think R8 in back of this pic is Sepang blue, but I kinda like the TT blue better
ooooooooooooooo or Yamaha blue
Not that I havent been tortured by this decision for several years while I find someone to do it for me

Though, for Volvo, I'm partial to the Laser Blue or Sonic Blue
Sonic:
But whichever color you choose, we all wanna see it, haha..
