Sterling Blue vs Admiral Blue
 
Does anyone have some pictures of the new sterling blue that are not from the Bash? The pictures from the bash make the color to be much more of a silver than a blue. I have seen a few Picts from the NCM webcam delivery system and under those lights the blue is much more obvious. I am trying to decide between the sterling blue and the admiral blue. On Kerbeck's website they have a couple of pictures that show an admiral blue car close to a Laguna blue car. A nice contrast since I have a Laguna blue convertible. However, the sterling blue seems hard to find other than at the bash. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

can't vouch for the accuracy of this, but I suspect it is a highly silverish blue.

Thanks for the link! Those are some other good angles and probably do show it is almost more silver than blue. Almost like one of the early 80s C3. Decisions....

Admiral by a country mile.

The more I look at the colors, both are great in there own way, but to be true to my idea of a GS is seeing it in admiral blue.

Looked at an Admiral Blue this weekend at a car show. I also have a Laguna Blue C-7. I like the Admiral Blue but it is way darker than LB and in the sun it appears to have a dark purple hue. I wasn't the only one that noticed the purple.

I want AB, but my LB is just 3 months old. I sent an e-mail to my dealer to ask what it would cost to switch, but never got an answer. I guess that was my answer. :confused2: :nono:

Nothing wrong with that. It's an amazing color.

I guess I will be the odd man out here cause I really like the Sterling Blue. But of the three blues I would stay with Laguna Blue.To bad they dropped it.

Sterling Blue isn't even really blue in my opinion. It's like they were going to call it "Sterling Silver" but at the last minute someone said, "hey, blues are popular, you can sort of see a little blue in it in the right light, lets call it "Sterling Blue" instead and it won't seem so boring."

I saw the Sterling Blue in person and it is way closer to silver than it is blue. I personally like the Laguna blue better than the admiral blue, but since LB is not an option I'd go with silver :rock: ...

Here are some from Bloomington Gold. I think it is the same car from the Bash. in a shaded tent it sill looks a bit silver. Blade silver is behind it.
