Presenting Aston's new contemporary colour, Glacial Blue.

As the name suggests, Glacial Blue is an icey blue colour with a pearlescent shimmer. This complements the subzero cool status that Top Gear, an award-winning U.K. motoring show, granted to the V8 Vantage.

The photos were taken by Roadfly.com. The colour was featured in the earlier V8 Vantage brochure and at the 2006 Detroit Autoshow. Aston was smart to withhold this colour until MY08 to maintain interest in the V8 Vantage. If you want something subtle but different, Glacial Blue with a Caspian blue interior and silver stitching is a great choice.

I think you'll find the colour in the brochure is Celeste Blue


The autoshow photos are Glacial Blue.
I suppose the brochure photo may be Celeste Blue, however, I have seen Celeste Blue in person and it has a slight green tinge to it.
In any case, Aston has discontinued Celeste Blue, although you can still custom order it for a hefty fee.
As of 2008, Aston offer Glacial Blue, perhaps as a Celeste Blue replacement.
