Hi all, any one know what the color is called ? I think its from a smashed circa 2000 model which was in a salvage yard. I bought this and the Magnolia seats.

Thanks rich, it's a sort of light purple ish color. When I found it in the breakers the engine and box had long gone, it had front corner damage and may have been rolled as well as the targa section was wedged down on top of the seats which had bent the head rests . I straightened the passengers one out and fitted it to my Griff.
Hope the driver was ok and wondering if it was someone on here's Tuscan ?
Think I found it in 2012 and it looked as though it had sat for a fair while.
Unusual color.,

Could be Cosmos Blue, aka Porsche Cobalt blue.

If it's a purplish blue it could also be royal blue which was used by ford on the focus st. Mine is royal blue but it never looks like it in photos.

My profile picture is Cosmos Blue, (Porsche Cobalt Blue). I think that the boot lid is Redbull Blue though.

Morning all and thanks for the replies, the mystery deepens ! But I seem to recall seeing a plate on it somewhere giving the build date of 2000. It was perched on top of a van when I stumbled upon it and I had a hell of a job getting the seats and boot lid off.
Often wondered whose Tuscan it was and if the occupants were ok, plus the color is so unusual. One thing I wasn't to impressed with was the lack of strength in the roll bar.

GTS Blue Pearl aka Chrysler Viper Blue is quite metal flakey compared to normal metallic paint and was popular around that time - chose it for my cerb. Not sure if red bull blue was around as early as 2000, i recall it being a colour of choice around 2003 when i was speccing up my t350
