Default Nassau Blue vs Jetstream Blue

I had an opportunity this afternoon to take some pictures of my NB '98 with a friend's JSB '08 convertible. I'd say that the colors are pretty close.

I have said that since they came out with Jet Stream Blue. I don't think that Jet Stream Blue has the metallic flakes in it that Nassau Blue Metallic does, but that only shows up when close to the car.

I believe the difference starts to be more apparent when they are in direct sunlight. JSB starts to wash out in direct sunlight. NB keps its hue better.

I think,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thanks for the side-by-side shots. Both look great.

How do they compare in full sun?

I love both colors. If I could, I would get a JSB vert.

Looks to me that the JSB is just a shade ever so slight lighter than the NB.

Those colors look very close. I had a NB '99 vert for a few years, and loved the color. They also offered NB on the '99 and '00 FRC. I wish it had been offered on the Z06. I like it better than my TR (but not by much).

I think the NB was also offered on some of the C2s?
