New color on mustang?

I saw this mustang today, and it was this purple, electron blue, looking color. It was on one of the newer mustangs. What is the name of this color? I really liked it.

Correct!

Here is our 02 Sonic Blue GT convertible


and a shot of it in bright sunlight


Its interesting, when we got ours, it was pretty new. It was offered mid-year 02. Infact, it was the only one on the lot, and the salesdork only knew this about the car: "We got that one in the other day, dunno what they call the color, and we weren't expecting that car, but it is ours".

Haven't seen too many around here in the NW. So far, I've seen 1 V6 coupe, 1 GT coupe, and 1 03 Cobra convertible in that color, and we've had ours for a year now.

Its a very pretty (to me) color.

It's not that color, although it is a nice color. It's more of a purple color.

No, it IS that color. Your screen just sucks. Adjust the tint.

There are only 2 blues in which the new mustangs come in. And trust me, the other one isnt it.

well thats the way it is for high performance sports cars... so when you are cornering, the front wheels are more vertical when you are turning fast

it could also be a suspension design, kinda like the mercedes, when they turn, the wheel angle changes, for better cornering

The color isn't bad but I never did like the mustang, even if it is fast.

LOL!

Agreed fully. Infact, the early 2002 brochures don't even show Sonic Blue, just the True Blue color.

BTW, there was a "purple" color offered back in ~94-95 on the Mustangs that looks very much like, well, purple... but no mistaking it for Sonic Blue, even with a mal-adjusted monitor

Actually, there is a possibility that what he is talking about is True Blue. Although Sonic Blue would be the obvious guess as to the color he saw because it kinda looks purple ALL the time, in BRIGHT sunlight, when its clean, True Blue can definately have a purpleish look to it (My friend has a True Blue 2002 GT). I would still guess that you saw a Sonic Blue Mustang because it can look one way and in different light look totally different, but there is a chance that what you saw was True Blue. In that case, it would have been a MUCH darker, deeper color than that of a Sonic Blue stang.

Oh, and Sonic Blue also comes on the SVT Focus and SVT Lightning
