The Cobra Blue was specific to that type. The three models listed (V6/Conv/GT) don't have the Color. But the lighter of the two blues is pretty close.

One thing that I have noticed about blue cars is that very often there will be a "gray" or "stony" quality to the tint that detracts from its Blueness. Maybe to my eye the Cobra blue is striking for its near-complete lack of this "stony" desaturation. Reds and greens are much less prone to that effect imo.

Maybe Blue Crab can give us the skinny on why lazurite is as intensely blue as it is.

I saw a snippet from a series on neuro stuff on cable. They had Oliver Sacks discoursing about subjective color. He told of having a near-mystical experience with a transcendent blue that he called Indigo. He saw it twice - once when thoroughly transported by Psilocybe mushrooms, and once after a soul-stirring concert - when he viewed some of King Tut's tomb articles afterward.

The interesting thing is that when he looked at the same objects later when he wasn't in an awestruck frame of mind - they were sure blue and all, but that quality of Indigo eluded him.
