Default Royal Sapphire Pearl

Anybody seen this color? Is it bright blue or more of a purpley blue? I've found a car in this color, but I'd hate to drive 1000 miles just to see that its purpely blue, not a bright royal blue.

Both of them aren't bad colors; however, the bright blue color is really nice. It's kinda strange because it has a simmilar shade as my jade green. Other colors that are somewhat simmilar is red and black.

I was talking about the two blue colors in general. One is dark and one is a bright color.

That's the bright blue. Get it. It's nice. Very similar finish and brightness to the red, black, or the green.

I know a girl who has one, it's really nice and it stands out a lot. It kinda reminds me of the Honda Si blue, only much louder, with a hint of a purplish tint. Great color.

Okay, seems like something is missing from your post. Ohh yeah, what about the girl? Hahaha.

Cool. I saw that pic on AutoTrader too....I was just wondering if the color in person is true to the picture.

Louder than SI blue...good. My ex had a blue Si....I wasn't swept away by the color...or the engine for that matter. Thanks guys.

when i went to the lexus dealer for my sc, they only had the royal sapphire pearl, black and diamond white pearl... i chose black though i'm a little biased to black.

saw the royal sapphire pearl and in my opinion:
1)in direct bright sunlight, it had a hue of purple and a base of blue. very LOUD for a lexus. in pictures, it looks blue, but in real life, more purple than blue.

2)at night, it looked blue, not purple.

3)it isn't that blue you see on the is300 (took a test drive).

you should take that long drive because only "you" will know for sure...plus, you might be kicking yourself later if you do like it but didn't get it.

When I get a body kit I'm repainting in that color... it's just tasty.

Heh, my jade green is a strange color. After you wax it, it looks like a dark green. When it's dirty, it looks like plain green. At night, it looks baltic blue when waxed and then when now it looks black. See the signature.

Yeah, my car's the green also. It is a weird paint, but it does wash up nicely, doesn't show scratches like black does and everyone I've talked to has been suprised that my car is a '93. I'm still going to repaint it eventually, when it's beat enough. I'll also replace all the outside trim.
