post a color suggestion

[Doug242ti]

Since theres only about 8 of us in the volvo forum figured I might have better luck here. I've been debating on colors for my 120 project ( http://www.socaleuro.com/forum/showthread.php?t=17462 ) for months now. The leading favorite for my fiance is laguna seca blue.

The car will still have (new) chrome bumpers and trim. Wheels are 18x7.5 Work VX-TX's.

The tough thing is, the doors and dash's have to be body color as well so its gotta be something I wouldn't get sick of staring at 24/7.

Alright other than that, I'm open for suggestions. Obviously the car is a LONG ways away from what it will be... but if you need insipration

electric blue!

gotta hit me with a picture, electric blue could be anything!

btw, couple rules:

1. Not black (you can't have a black car and the shop I have, just doesn't work)
2. Not Matte.

I would do a vintage color of the era if it were mine like a powder blue or dark red

Thats why we were thinking about LSB so heavily... it has some vintage appeal to it.

Ok, I didn't realize it was the same as Saffron. I do like that color... just not sure I will if I have to stare at it on the dash everyday
