Hi

There's a really nice light blue colour I have seen some rare Scoobies in, a little bit like the E36 M3 light blue or the Mitsubishi Evo Reims blue; you know which colour I mean?

I would like to ask someone here to post a picture of a scooby in that colour to confirm the colour I am looking for, please?

Colour code ref appreciated!

Later

Thanks John,
but no ... it's a much lighter colour.

Like this one :

But a little bit lighter, with a touch of grey in it.

There's also a very light blue (sort of metallic sky blue) they did for a very short time, and 'cool grey' which is basically grey.

Carl, can you show me a pic of that colour you just mentioned?

Crisp LOL, yeah. But it could be that colour; I think it's a little "greyer", ie light blue with a hint of grey. I have only seen that colour once, IRL, and dont know what it's called.

Isnt a colour code longer than 74F, ie 4 digits?

Yep a lot of the colour codes are 3 digits, written on the VIN plate. Thats what asked for when Halfords made me up a can of spray .

Thanks, guys, but you're goin' crazy here!

I said LIGHT BLUE WITH A HINT OF GREY and you're posting a peppermint green, grey and a black or very dark blue one! LOL

I really appreciate your eagerness to help, but come on, we're talking LIGHT BLUE!

I'm sure someone will give me a red one LOL

I think it may well be the sonic blue I'm after. IS there some colour that looks 80 or 90% like sonic blue, just SLIGHTLY different?

Thanks for the help,

I think it's your colour I'm after; can you check the colour code, please? Is there another code?

Thanks for the help

Question

Thats sonic blue colour code 74F same as P1, 22B, Terzo, and quite a few imports (like mine )
The 22B looks a different blue to the P1 - you sure they are the same?

If I see it about then I will.

I haven't spotted any other Subaru's in this particular colour and I know it is GL (not a sport) from the style of the front grille.

Close Crush, but the one I see is actually more sky blue than that one.

Claudius. I even know where the fuel cap is to fill up at petrol stations - please don't pass out in shock now.

Crush it is a fookin' impressive photoshopped scooby that actually drives about on roads.

Claudius, if the colour is similar to the reims blue on an Evo, then the reddish blue colour maybe the one you are looking for.

If not, then I am going to have to lurk on the industrial estate waiting for the car to turn up.

Nothing surprises me any more

I honestly thought that the one i posted was what you're talking about, cause i've seen one going about as well, and that's the only blue that i know of that's lighter than Sonic/WR Blue.

It may just be the angle that it's at (light etc)

Reddish blue I believe is a bit lighter than WR/sonic blue.

Honestly, the blue I saw was a sky blue with a tinge of grey, deffo not peppermint and definitely not grey.

Claudius, I definitely know the colour you are talking about as I've seen it before on a scoob in Geneva. The one I saw was a non-metallic blue but I've no idea of the colour code. If I see it again I'll ask the guy what it's called.

Member number 164 has the same colour on the Webclub-Subaru site - on page 33 of "Le Webclub" page. You might want to send him an email and ask.

You're right 'chelle -- there is a light blue that's sort of a blue version of the peppermint green. But like you, I've only seen a GL in that colour.

Thanks for that, Frenchie, but isnt that Sonic Blue?



A friend of mine told me yesterday that they slightly changed the blue colours from year to year

The colour I'm talking about is like Sonic blue, but with A LITTLE BIT more of an anthraite grey in it...

naturbo, that could be it!!! Although it was probably a little dark outside, because that picture is kind of dark. But it has definitely that metal grey part in it! Reddish Blue you say? Have you got any more pictures taken in brighter daylight or something where the colour looks lighter, or is that the way it looks?

I'll scan some photos in and put them up - just a couple of mins

I'll also take a look at the paint code - last 3 digits of chassis code, right?
