no doubt about it...love my sonic blue....never ONCE has anyone ever questioned...what color is that....they look and say....love that blue...its sharp.....not hey love that purple...but it has some blue highlights...

LOL. You can tell us VISTAs and SONICs love our cars! I constantly got compliments on how nice the colors were (both my cars SONIC/VISTA). EVERY weekend I drive my car and stop at stores, gas stations, etc. I get positive comments. I can tell you chicks really dig the car and I believe it's blue enough to be masculine for me too. I'm sure every other mustang owner who has a different color will tell you how beautiful their "color" looks. I have to agree there's not one color that doesn't look bad and catches someone's eye. My personal favorites are VISTA (of course ), Dark Red (forgot color), Legend Lime, Blueveil (is that the right name?) and Orange (the new orange).

Ok, here we go... Go into Paint and define this custom color:

Hue: 175 Sat: 154 Lum: 79 Red: 70 Green: 30 Blue: 138

This is very close to the color I saw. It looks like it could be blue, but it is also the edge of purple. Maybe my eyes are sensitive to that particular shade.

Windevil Blue...yeah, that's it! WTF did I get "Blueveil"??? Anyway, that is a Beautiful color too. I might have gone with that one or Legend Lime if I wasn't so set on the VISTA BLUE.

Ooooh...yuck....my monitor must be WAY off. The color you suggested (Hue: 175 Sat: 154 Lum: 79 Red: 70 Green: 30 Blue: 138) looks FUGLY on my monitor and no way like anything my SONIC or VISTA has appeared (in any light situation). I had to get my wet wipes out and decontaminate my monitor after viewing that color

I had a Midnight Blue Metallic car once.....it was beautiful! I think it would look hot on a Mustang.

Vista Blue looks flat out purple in right lighting, i've seen it first hand.

You be the judge:
