My car was originally metallic quartz.

Quatrz Metallic Aqua is my favorite colourImage
In all fairness I believe all computer screens show the same colour as different if that makes sense.. and the yank car John posted appears to be like a sort of reef blue on my screen, it may look like Aqua though on othersImage.. This is a shot of the Actual original Aqua Quartz on the frame of this FF bonnet, but the actual bonnet skin itself doesn't look like Aqua to me, but the frame itself does and apparently isImage >>>

My old MK3 was originally aqua. **EDIT: My old car was "Aquarius Blue" - apparently a special order, Chrysler colour.

But is metallic quartz actually the same as aqua? I believe we're talking a different colour here.

I suspect the colour you have here Grant is also Aquarius Blue - the Chrysler colour - special order.
It looks extremely similar to my old car which was definitely Aquarius Blue.

I initially thought "oh yes, my old car was aqua" but then realised it was actually Chrysler "Aquarius Blue". Not actually a "standard" Jensen colour anyway!
Guilty, but it does make me wonder what colour cannonball is actually thinking of...

It is quoted in the chassis book as quarts metallic aqua but I have not seen it termed that anywhere else ????
