Here is a sample of strato blue .
This colour is available in the MAZDA 2. MAZDA 3 AND MAZDA 6 SERIES
Doesnt make your $60, 000+MAZDA RX8 very special
Once again the Australian mazda rx8 owners are being shortchanged by mazda japan .WHY NOT HAVE PEARL WHITE ?????
CHEERS

Not to my knowledge , i dont believe they would use the same colour for the Mazdaspeed rx8 blue in japan as the colour they use for the cheap MAZDA 2 .3 AND 6 series here in AUSTRALIA. :p

The problem (in my view) with this colour is that it is a mica, and not a metallic. It is the mica in the Velocity Red that turned me off the red. Too lairy and "gelcoaty", like a showy speedboat paint! Okay red owners....flame me, flame me now..... 
Looks okay in this pic though.....

I would have considered trading in my yellow rx8 for a mazdaspeed rx8 with 250kw and in white pearl if it became available .

I think there is nothing wrong my colour choice :D
Just that i just can't wait for the order so all just of the floor
My Z is blue and i think it's a Great Colour. The RX8 is red with Red interior, was getting black but the black is with Black leather option which is dissapointed, but anyway
I like both cars :D

You nearly got the Equation correct :D
250KW+ pearlescent + 20year old nymphomaniac with spare RX8 = perfection
Now that would be complete agreement. :p

Strato blue is a touch of purple in it ... it is unlikely is the MazdaSpeed blue you see.
If it is purple then it will be like the purple M&Ms, weird
Here is the picture of strato blue Mazda 2

Interestingly, they dropped the yellow for the new blue in Germany too.....it's just the States so far that have scored the white after having the yellow dropped.
Taka, East Moon reckons that this Strato Blue does have a touch of purple in it. Hopefully it won't have as much as your pic though!

Two Blues
So does this mean that there will be two blue - Strato and Winning?
Or is Winning Blue (my choice of colour for my forthcoming purchase) to be replaced also?
Anyone know either way?

You, and tasteful people like you, will be able to lay their hands on WB cars for a while yet, I'm sure.........well I'm hopefull anyway.
Good point though, it's time I changed my sig.

P.S.... Maybe Lock can find out from his contact at Mazda???

Dont worry Mazda in its wisdom will keep both strato blue and winning blue , but not bring in the white , once again we are the victim of to few car sales in the world wide market .
