Question The Falcon Blues....

Which were the best of the Aussie Ford blues? 1990 'till today?

List your best Ford blue. Photo, factory paint code and year(s) if possible too please.


Mine: Cobalt blue pearl / C9 / 1992-1994. Still tops the list for me.

Having trouble thinking of any others from '90 to now, "tru blu" is all I see.

My XG is Mauritius Blue and it is different to that. Different paint code too I think

E: I guess under different light it won't look the same.

Nothing comes close to Bionic blue in my opinion, especially on the Phoons.

Possibly, they just sat there and had no purpose...but they were there when I bought it and I couldn't be bothered taking them off

For me its Shockwave, looks great when the sunlight hits it. And the Shockwave issue was a blessing in disguise, as it meant I got a fresh respray.

Blueprint is my fav! Wish the GTF was offered in Blueprint. Kinetic is a little too dark for my liking.
