Winning

If I get both Blue and Yellow, I will abolutely get inner peace and self confidence....:p

Just to get an even better frame of reference from people who have seen the blue, I currently own a VW Jetta in Lagoon Blue which is a medium metallic blue leaning slightly towards the lighter side. Can anyone tell me if this color is pretty close to the Winning Blue? For comparison, the pic of the Winning Blue at the top of the forum seems virtually identical to my Jetta

Not that I'm going to change my color choice or anything, just wanted to get an idea up front about the color in person.

Not my car, but here is a picture for reference.....

It's hard to tell from a photo, but that looks pretty close. The Winning Blue is perhaps just a tad brighter.

I've only seen the color swatches at the show, but for sure the Winning Blue was much better, IMO, than the flatter and darker Protege blue. However I think on the car, the pictures you took from the Rev-it-Up in Houston are by far the best looking yet. So, how close to how you saw it at the show are those pictures? If it looks like that, I'll be very happy.

P.S. THANKS for those pics and the movies...I've been showing them to everyone and saying that it's the car I'm getting :D.

I would get blue. I think yellow is one of those colors that is flashy on a new model car, but give it a few years and it'll look really dated (same goes for the orange color that Nissan is using). Kinda like the teal cars of a few years back. Also I saw a article and yellow was listed as one of those harder colors for resale (which I think has to do with what I said before about dated).

Yeah, photos can be deceiving, but I thought someone might have seen a VW in Blue Lagoon in person to compare it to. I know someone said that it is a little darker than the blue on the G35 coupe. Can you confirm this eccles?

Glad you like 'em - I know a lot of folks have been pounding on my server to take a look.

The color in the pics is fairly close, but I think the closest match is actually the color in the second short mpg.

It's true, the yellow looks absolutely gorgeous in those photos from Laguna Seca. But the Winning Blue in that same series, looks much darker than it is in person, leaving me to wonder if the yellow is going to be too palid for my liking. Consider this shot from the same series, which looks completely different:

MrWigggles

It looks completely different because the sun angle is from the opposite direction; look at the direction of the shadows.

From a photographer's perspective, the picture I posted would be considered "proper subject lighting". The one you posted would be considered stylistic lighting.

The images from the Japaneese website are the finest I've seen. I think they best represent what the car will look like in direct sunlight - bright yellow with a pinch of mustard to it.

Ps. If you want to be exact as possible. The Japanese system of color requires computer monitors to have their white-point set to 9300K. If your computer monitor has that option I would set it to that value to get an as exact match.

Yeah,I'm aware of the different lighting angles. I guess my point is that I will wait until I've seen the yellow in person before I decide. Having already seen the blue, I'd be more than happy to go with the blue if the yellow turns out to be too palid for my liking.

so i actually really like the blue color on the x-men car. i think that'd been a cooler blue, or nice addition to winning blue. they called it "mutant blue." it seems more purplish and darker. so, that's not the same color as winning blue right?

but nevertheless, winning blue is growing on me more and more after seeing more pictures of it, especially pictures at shows. but if it came down to the choice i think i'd still pick the yellow. it's becoming a tougher and tougher choice tho :D

The previous car that I owned had a Lemon Yellow paint job and I absolutely loved the color. But now I'm going for BLUE.
