Default 1972 Bryar Blue question

Can anyone post a picture of a 1972 Bryar Blue Vette? Our 72 is now black but going into the shop September 28 to be stripped and painted with the correct Bryar Blue. Sure would appreciate seeing what this color is going to look like.
Thank you.
Bob

fastfun,
This is what my Bryar blue looks like. Actually it looks a little more teal than blue when you see it. My camera made it look a little more bluie than it actually is. It's a "thumbs up" color everywhere I go! If you paint your car Bryar blue you'll love it.

Looks like the Marina Blue from a few years earlier...would you agree?

Greg, Beautiful color! Thank you so much for the pics. The wait until my appointment in September is killing me. The pics you provided will help in my wait. At least now, I can see what our 72 will eventually look like.

Fastfun

The bryar blue is close to the aqua on the 92---96 Corvettes. It is a one year only color and is sharp!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom,
You're right, it does look like Marina blue in these pics, but when you see it for real it's very blue/green. I don't know why my camera changed it.
And yes, the C4 teal is VERY close to Bryar blue. If I put mine side by side with one you can't tell the colors apart.
Hope this helps out fastfun!
Good luck, Greg

Ok, you guys are really getting me excited about this color now. I can hardly wait. I always loved the C4 Teal color. Oh well, perhaps getting parts at Carlisle will help me until the car is repainted this fall. Thanks for the info.

Hold it now...don't get so excited. If its the bryar blue I'm thinking of...its a hint of teal but hardly teal. Frankly I always viewed the C4 teal as too tealish. In contrast the bryar blue suggests a hint but still has a masculinity about itself I like.
