Color inspirations - Blue

[Andy sti]

So I've got a new custom steel frame on order. We've nailed down most of the details and now I need to pick a main color.

I'm looking for shades of blue. Maybe something along the lines of Gentian blue. Anyone have some ideas or pictures?

Thanks,
Andy

I love the looks of this blue IF in the Classifieds here: https://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=222282

+1 to Lake Placid Blue. 50's/60's Fenders were painted in GM colors, so if your paint is being done by an auto shop it should be super easy to find the match. This Cielo looks like it's the same color:



I also dig the Stinner/Mudfoot blue.

I love both of these, too (particularly that Stinner/Mudfoot).

All good suggestions so far.
I have posted all these images below before, but too tired now to find them again.

Search here or simply on google for:
Stelbel (Rodano, Antenore, SB/03, Nina) blue
Ellis (Dave Wages) ice blue
Scapin R8 / S8 ice blue
Pinarello Montello (steel) ITA blue
Ibis Spanky (steel) blue
Colnago PRZA (Zabel) blue

R3awak3n's bad-ass English blue

Still love Gios blue (JB did a good match job on the repaint)

Ugo Blue!

I chose this blue after seeing another frame that Steve Garro made. We call it Denise Blue but Spectrum Paint and Powder call it Signal Blue. If the custom frame has nice details, this shade of blue works well.

I was going to post this. It is a proper blue for a bicycle.
