Alpine Blue

[7en]

Were there different Alpine Blue shades over time?

Occasionally I come across a picture where the blue looks more like Renault Racing Blue - lighter blue, less metallic.

These pictures show it best:

The Bleu de France looks even lighter still so don't think it is that.

The second one has Atelier brake thingies, so may well also be an atelier color.

2nd image, plate 4202 VB, is owned by Hoofty here. It's Bleu de France.

Guilty m'lud

If memory serves there were/are a couple of Atelier options which 'sort of' do what the OP describes (Héritage and Acier Blues I think?), but giveaway for the first car is that it doesn't have the plaque the Atelier cars come with. I'd therefore say it's normal Alpine Blue, but in studio lighting conditions.

Second car definitely B de F

Hey

My car is Alpine Bleu Acier [Steel Blue], take a look.

Very nice, would love to see more pics of the Steel Blue.

Here's a couple for you

Its quite a strange colour, rarely does it look the same in a photograph as real life and it changes with sky conditions.

Try to get to see it in person if you can

Alpine Centre Soestdijk have one in their showroom (and pictures on their website) right now. This colour definitely looks a lot more vivid to me than the standard Bleu Alpine, I hope to catch a glimpse of it when I visit them for my one year checkup.

I bought the first car of those two but from Winchester and not Romans.

3k miles in the first 5 weeks.
