Default Bright Aqua Metallic?

I thought this was QBM (Quasar Blue Mettalic)but the owner is calling it BAM

http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/car/374119072.html

I thought BAM was a pale green like this??

http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/car/373625946.html

However this may be torquoise mettalic?

Clarification Please?

The first one is Bright Aqua Metallic (92-96).

The second one is Turquoise Metallic (90-91). Just like my `91.

The reason this is important to me is I had the car below which turned very red soon after this pic was taken, but what color is it?
It was sprayed over black on an 88 car.
I've been calling it Quazar Blue Mettalic for several years, and it is important because I really hate this color and it makes me want to puke whenever I see it.
It may be pavlovian conditioning from the smell of goof off and the hours I spent scraping the dum dum off the body...

not refering to the black or carmine red or dark red mettalic quarters or the black hood either.

Its bright aqua metallic. I thought it counted as quazar long ago but people promptly rebuked that notion here.

Yeah, I think we covered your car as being BAM, I actually started the thread because I'm trying to figure out which color my old car was so I never get it again

It apears from this thread that QBM is a true blue not a green blue, is that correct?

(and that I have wrongly accused QBM these last few years and my car may have been BAM or greener then BAM but not as green as TM.

Yes, the Quasar is a very nice blue. No green tint to it at all. Not sure of what years it was available, except that 1993 was the last year for it.
