Andalusite vs Washington blue?

[1930ABONE]

I'm looking for a dark blue but not on the black side etc.
Maybe Lombard would be a better choice?

I always thought mine was Andalusite Blue, but after seeing a couple of the other photos, now I wonder if it's Washington Blue. It was already painted when I bought it. In the shade, it looks almost black. In full sun, it looks really blue.

Andalusite and Lombard are both quite dark but the color tone is different. Here is a link to my Workshop page. The first link on the page will let you view different color combinations on a Deluxe Roadster.

Andalusite Blue looks almost black in many color photos, particularly if the vehicle was photographed in the shade.

Lombard blue is a slightly lighter.

Washington Blue looks "blue" no matter what kind of light.

Personally, I have found all the '28 - '29 colors to be on the "dark side" as far as body colors go ( no yellows or light blues / greens ). About the lightest color are Chicle Drab or Dawn Grey Light ( for open cars ).

Finally in '30 & '31, you could get a Ford with a light-color body.

Nope, won't work.. I don't care how I try it, it just won't go.. It'll be easier and faster to stuff it in an envelope and mail it to everyone..

Patrick, I find the easiest way to post a full sized picture is to load it to "Photobucket", then generate the HTML code as in Shelly's Fordbarn, except this time instead of going to the second box down, go to the FOURTH box down and copy that code. Then PASTE that code in this message box.

There may be a better way on this site, but this is the way I know to post a picture here.

Patrick! Don't mail your photos; too expensive for the prints and postage.
I'll post your photos for you at 1/2 the price!

Nice bike, btw.

For the big pictures skip uses--> Dierct Link <--- in Photobucket. Second choice down. The copied Direct Link goes into the box provided with the yellow icon, BUT I blow away [delete] the HTTP:// part. Then 'paste' in the 'Dierct code' and push 'save'. Thumb nails would be HTML Thumbs, and Tom uses the HTML code, a bigger picture of a thumb..

It is a tough decision.. Did you check out the colors on Marcos site??

 

[1930ABONE]

Hi Patrick, yes I checked out Marcos site...thanks Marco!

I have some old blue hood sides and really like the color.
I'll take some pics and maybe we can tell what color blue they are.

Thanks for all the pics...this is gonna be tough lots of great blues!

 

[Patrick L.]

Boy its nice to see all the pics of some really pretty cars.. I'll try the suggestions for posting from Tom and Skip, thanks.. If the posting still doesn't work for me, I'll take Skip up on his generous offer..

 

[1930ABONE]

Blue Hood Sides...one was taken with light on it the other with just the flash. Amazing the difference light makes any ideas on what color this might be?

 

[Patrick L.]
