Is this wedgewood blue or a non standard color ?
Sorry about the low resolution pics.

Thanks, Peter

It looks more like French Blue L02 to me, certainly a non standard Sprint colour scheme, but you could have whatever you wanted back in the day. The sill bottoms are not Matt/ satin black, therefore suspect a later respray.

Wedgwood is I believe a paler more sky blue.

Peter,
The color in your pics looks a little on the light blue side although when looking at colors on a PC is like looking at a football game in a department store with 20 TV's on display against a wall. All on the same channel but they look a bit different.

I have repainted my Elan Wedgewood Blue (at least that's what I think it is) I matched the color found in the can of Lotus Touch Up Paint. It's part number A036B6431S. At least that's the best I can make out on the can.

Here are a couple of pics.

More importantly, paint it the color that makes you happy!

Are you going with a Sprint scheme or ??? Let's see a couple pics of your car!

Good luck,
Frank

Gentlemen, thanks for your input !

I'm trying find a nice blue color We had the original Lagoon blue mixed in the paint shop today. But it looked to dark for me. The French blue and Medici blue are a little to much baby blue and Royal blue is to dark. As I have a Sprint, the color combo will be as in the pics above, but did not decide about the particular blue.

Phil, I got the pics from the Bat website but I did not buy the car ! Maybe the buyer/current owner is also on this forum and could provide me with some pics ? I very much like this blue/grey but did not even decide if its going a metallic paint or not. This also looks good:

Woah, be careful all of you.

The colour that we see on screen, vesrus the actual colour of the car will vary widely depending on what camera you used and what screen settings are being used to see it and what kind of screen you have.

So you can't really trust colour matchin in the way you asked. The only accurate way would be to get a colour chart or colour meter and hold it up to the paint on the car.

If you choose a color, don't look at pics! My S4 looks very pale inside the workshop and very blue in sunlight,

I can barely remember what mine looks like it has been covered in the garage for so long.

My Lagoon Blue can go through major shade changes based upon the ambient lighting.

One of the reasons why I like it

Of all the pictures as viewed on my color-corrected monitor, the "Sprint" that started the thread is the closest to Wedgewood. Caveat: I'm not comparing this to a faded 50-year old car painted in Lotus' interpretation of Wedgewood, or a color-match from a chip of 40-year old paint, but an actual piece of Wedgewood. A very tranquil color.
