That blue seems a little darker in person. You don't see many of that color or your grey color or my Quartz Blue either!!
Cool colors on cool cars!!

Thats exactly how that blue looks in person. There is another darker blue that you may be getting it confused with.

Your right, I was thinking the only 2 blues available on the 2003 Convertible were Capri (DARK) and Quartz. I opened my catalog and there it is Orion Blue Metallic. I had never seen Orion in person before ordering my car, only Capri and Quartz. The Quartz blue is a very light blue with almost a lavender- purple tone to it depending on what light you are in. I will try to post pics.
