Identify this colour ??

Anybody??

If it is indeed Ellwood Blue, then why is it not on the pallette of colours on Aston's web site?

"Here's a colour for you...but we don't offer it!"

Flugplatz Blue has been suggested as the colour. Is that possible, or is that name made up by some Ring aficionado?

Thank you all (and you know who you are) for driving this topic into the ditch.

How we got arguing about brakes and transmissions and specs, when I was asking about a colour, is beyond me. No, wait, this is the AM Pistonheads forum...nevermind.

The Vanquish is indeed Flugplatz Blue, as confirmed by several reviews of the press car in the photos.

So, does it have another name (like Ellwood), or are they two different colours that are imperceptibly different unless side by side? Like the imperceptible difference between Racing Green and Aston Martin Green unless side by side in the same photo.

In either case, these colour(s) don't show up in the Aston colour pallette of choices.

I don't know why I didn't check this before, but...

The Dupont site lists a POWDER/FLUGPLATZ BLUE for 2013. So the colour does have 2 names, but not Ellwood. And Ellwood is not even listed, but that doesn't mean it is not an Aston colour, since there are several AM colours not listed in that database.

I guess w/o a colour code, it is all just educated guessing.
