Thanks Toque...it just didn't look like that particular blue to me in that pic. Normally Nassau looks like a lighter blue pearl to me. Anyways, I like the way that looks. Thanks again.

It's not an easy color to photograph. I always try to get pictures of mine and the car looks deeper in blue when in person but looks brighter in the pictures.
