Default Weird color? (Pic)

Anyone else have a "turquoise" f150 on here? I haven't seen to many around besides mine, and mine's pretty boring because it has no mods yet so post any turquoise f150!

No mods? I just commented on the reg cab thread that the black and blue color looked pretty neat... you didn't do all the black trim?

Hard to tell because of how bright it is but Ford did offer a very similar color in 98', it might be the original paint but it's difficult to tell. Great color for modding though

The color code is RB. I have the same color truck, as does C418 on here.

Here in Anchorage, there are at least 7 I know of the same color blue. Only 2 others have the argent bottom color, but one only has the middle bottom stripe, no wheel wells color. Seemed to be popular but looking on eBay or Auto trader sites, not many listed. Time to remove the shell and put on the tonneau cover. Hope winter is over soon. lol

Jess, have you ever notice how this particular color changes as you move around the truck? It goes light blue, sort of greenish, bright blue, etc. It all depends on how the light hits it. Almost like a mystic paint, but of course it's not. Really weird how 3 or 4 people describe the color in the sun also. Hard to get 2 people to call it the same color. Strange paint color, but really pretty when it's clean.
