The Falcon Blues....

[XBv8mmm!]

My old XB Fairmont was Apollo blue, loved that colour. had it resprayed as close to it as possible back in the day.

One of my BA XT's was shockwave, had the respray as well.
My BF XR6 was Kinetic (could have been shockwave but it was darker than my BA) and my FG X XR8 is Kinetic.

Metallic blue is the colour for me, darker rather than lighter.

Cheers.

Kinetic was introduced with the FG MkII.


For me, I like most of the Ford blues, for each of their best qualities. Most of them look awesome! Blueprint and Velocity have always been a couple of favourites though.

I've always loved Blueprint (had a nice BA XR6 back in the day), but it's all about Kinetic these days......!!!

Is that the car out of the "real men smoke eagers" ad of the 80's? The number plate looks very familiar.

Some of my favorite Ford Blues:-

Apollo Blue (XB)
Blue Pearl (BA)
Cobalt Blue (EB)
Blue Print (AU)
Navy Blue (EF)
Vanish (FG)
Electric Blue (XY)

Cobalt on the EB/ED has always been a favourite.

On the BA it was shockwave (shame my shockwave was written off by a week-old p plater who was racing his mate and had a problem identifying what a red traffic light means).

Really liked sensation on the FG, and wanted this for mine, but had to change it to vanish as they discontinued sensation. Vanish has grown on me since, and reminds me of the old generic midnight blue colour that was popular in the 80s.

[SSD-85]

My list in no particular order;

Cosmic Blue (XB)
Apollo Blue (XB)
Galaxy Blue (AU1)
Monsoon Blue (AU2/3)
Narooma Blue (AU2-BA1)
Blue Pearl (BA1)
Steel Blue (XC)
Ice Blue (XF)

My two tone XF Family Edition gets double the Ford blue goodness -
Atlantic Blue, over Ice Blue metallic

I thought that was the car. I have that poster packed away somewhere, I'll have to dig it out.

Kinetic is the best blue of the current colour range IMO. A nice deep, rich blue. Kinetic is moving up the list the more I see it.
