What kind of blue?
« on: Dec 09, 2007, 01:15:28 PM »
I've been thinkin for a while what color I'm goin to paint my truck when I get the other stuff done.

I like the blues of the 1st gens. But what "Official" blue is that? What is the code or name or whatever.

It is like the blue of Lilbuddys old 1st gen.

Is there a spraypaint that will close enough match that?

Any help would be awesome.

Try this link, they have a color library.

Traditionally, blue has been considered a primary color in painting, with the secondary color orange as its complement.

Blue pigments include azurite, ultramarine, cerulean blue, cobalt blue, and Prussian blue (milori blue).


Scientific natural standards for blue
Emission spectrum of Cu2+
Electronic spectrum of aqua-ions Cu(H2O)52+


Blue is the color claimed by the street gangs Crips and Surenos
