Question

Can anyone help with some EXACT paint ref. code info on the various mica / metallic blues there are available (excluding that VERY dark one) ??

I'm moving from Holland to Switzerland next week (hence the name !!), and one week later will get my brand spanking new MY99 limited edition (Swiss) "WRX" model - in Metallic BLUE. But is this the same as the 22B colour..? I MUST know.

My car is metallic (mica ?) blue. A sort of medium blue shade. From the first piccie I saw on a Swiss dealers own web site, it looked EXACTLY like the 22B that Tiff drove on Top Gear (having not seen one in the flesh (metal ?)) . . . so - Boy ! did I get a banana in my pocket ?!!!

but...when I saw MY car at the dealer it was much paler than I imagined from various magazine review & internet pic's, & Top Gear.

If you look at some of the various pic's on the I'net, you get various impressions of the 22B's shade - some darker, some lighter. So I want to know if the 22B is a special or standard colour. (Judging from the var. pic's
you might think there were 3 different colrs.) You see various references in ad's to Sonic Blue; reddish-blue; Mica Blue; Rally Blue and "555" blue.
Are these all the same or different interpretations of only 1 or 2 colours ?

I saw some good pics on I'net by Mark Hunt (?) of the UK show 22B and colour looked very close to mine - but other pic's look totally different.
I know it can depend on whether the pic's are slightly under / over exposed, and strong local lite srce. (espec. flash) and these can then look more like my own cars' colour: eg.:
