What color is the Trans Am in this picture?
Hello, I am getting a paint job for my Firebird soon and I really like the color of the blue Firebird in this picture:

http://www.pontiac.com/pontiacjsp/fi...photo06_lg.jpg

I think it is either Bright Blue Metallic or Medium Blue Metallic, does anyone know? I have been doing some research and Bright Blue Metallic was offered in 1998, and medium blue was available in 99.

Thank you!

That's Navy Blue Metallic for sure. It looks like a whole different color when a light shines on it.

Right. But this pic is from Pontiac's site. Why would they show a non-stock color?

This is what a T/A would look like in Electron Blue: http://community.webshots.com/photo/...34327479zsOOof

When looking at that color, remember how much more closer the CE TAs looked to Millenium Yellow in the brochures versus the paler, more pastel-like color they have when you see them in person. Camera magic
