Default What color is this?


It's a 2008 saturn vue. It is a factory color but I can't seem to find any information about it. In 2008, I read that the Vue came in mystic blue or deep blue. From the pictures I saw of vehicles labeled mystic blue, that doesn't appear to be it. This color shifts from blue to purple in the right light (I tried to pick a picture that shows that).

So to the point: Does anyone know the official name of this color or have a paint code? Thanks guys.

Yea, I guess it is. Some of the pictures I looked at seem liked a dull blue so I didn't that was it. Any idea how to find the paint code for this?

go ask to take a look at the car and find the paint code or just ask them for touch up paint for it cause you have one in that color.

Call the dealership and ask for parts. Give them the last 8 digits in the VIN # and they can tell you the paint code immediately!!!! Done deal !! That simple!!! I do it all the time.

Unless I'm mistaken that color was available on the 2008 Chevy HHR, not sure of the name.

Stealth Blue Metallic was a rare paint color for the 2008 G8. It's similar, but more purple I think.
