Is this really trophy blue?
I understand that the color can vary from car to car, but this seems way off. Would love to hear other opinions.....

Lighting, camera, and your screen will make colors apear diffreant. So the only way to tell is look at it in person.

Trophy Blue changes a LOT with different light. I think that looks pretty spot on. Here's a couple photos of mine for comparison in different light. It was painted in the 90's and is showing a lot of age now...
Hope this helps...

Trophy Blue is one of the "neat" colors that were offered....
I never saw them when they were new from the factory (I'm 48), but the ones I have seen in person seem to almost be "electric". Its a really cool blue... the sibling to Mossport Green. Both cars look very different, depending on the light source, time of day etc.
Regardless... you are going to have 50% of the Experts say its right, and 50% say its not quite right... that is the nature of the beast.
