I was wondering if someone might post a link to a picture of a "Caterham Blue" seven? There seem to be many shades of blue offered by Caterham, not to mention everyone's custom shades of blue. As I get closer to actually ordering a car, I think I'm set on Caterham Blue with a white stripe and white noseband. A picture would sure help. Tried Google Images, and wasn't certain which shade of blue I was looking at. Tried the color configurator, but it's not really photo-realistic.

Thanks!

What's mine then? Looks a bit darker than Viper:



And do Caterham do touch-up kits?

Email Caterham, they'll tell you the colour via reg or vin number or similar.

actually ask them for the pain code number -- that's more handy in case you don't use TSK for a paint job! most shops should be able to handle knowing the code number.....E.G. our SV is BMW-M-416 which is the pearlescent M-cars black.....

Don't forget that the blue you see on screen won't necessarily look like the colour in real life as well, depending on camera settings and the monitor itself.

To put things worse, the colour names vary from the official website to the rest of the European countries. For instance, here I have in a brochure: Storm Blue, which I think it's dark blue, and it's a non-metallic paint, Viper Blue (picture attached), which is a quite common color, very neutral blue, quite nice and safe option, actually my favourite, and Plasma Blue, which I have no idea what it looks like. Kingfigher blue is also a nice color. It's quite uncommon. It's like a lighter blue, a with a bit of turquoise (see picture), maybe a little girlie?
