Question Montego blue vs. infiniti athens blue

Judging by those pictures nowhere close, Montego looks far better.

Much bluer and brighter. Towards WRX STI blue..

The infiniti color (looks the balls on that car btw w/ aero package) is greyer, a drop greener, and much tamer..

Montego looks great on the coupe IMO.. I still dont know how I feel about it on the sedan..

Hope this helps..

Is that your G35? Beautiful car if it is.. I've seen/drove in that car and color combination in person w/ a light tan/cream interior and the wheel and brake package.. Extremely sexy car if you ask me..

Athens Blue is actually closer to the discontinued Mystic Blue. It is darker than Montego Blue. Montego has a little purple in it. You have to see it in person, it is different than photos.

That M3 does not looks like Interlagos, that looks like either Estoril, or LSB (smurf) blue, with good lighting....


This is Interlagos...





Such a hot and clean car..

I never said that that m3 was interlagos..

I just said interlagos is a sick color. You found some great pictures to prove my point..
