Which Blue is Which?

I've heard you guys talking about Caribbean Blue, Athens Blue, Midnight Blue, and Twilight Blue. Which is which. Is there any way you guy's can post pics of each? I've tried searching on Google but I've had no luck. I have an '05 G in some kind of blue but I'm not exactly sure which. The salesman told me that Infiniti was discontinuing the color (probably BS) and that I would rarely see and like mine. To date (3 weeks after the purchase) I have seen plenty of blue g's (mostly a lighter blue) and am wondering which is which, and if this rumor is true.

Colorq

Not knowing much about the G and only my .02, I would say that each color of blue was a color for every different car year.

Such as .....

'05 - Athens Blue
'04 - Midnight Blue
ect.
ect.

Just my guess !!????

You most likely got the Athens Blue.

The 4 Blue's are (in order they were released minus)

1. Carribean Blue (CB) - Available in 03' only, now discountinued
2. Daytona Blue (DB) - Available all years (350z COLOR ONLY)
3. Twilight Blue (TB) - Midnight color (released in 04')
4. Athens Blue (AB) - Released in 05' (You probably have this one)



I'll post pics but I'm sure someone will get to it very soon.

1. Caribbean Blue - the brightest one (discontinued after 03)
2. Midnight/Twilight blue - both same color with 2 names (04' and on) it's a Navy blue shade
3. Athens Blue - 05 and on - it's pure blue (my favorite)

Wow, that was quick, informative, and just all around a great way of answering my question without getting off topic. Thanks a lot. Evidently my blue is Athens Blue, and I agree (probably with bias) that this is the nicest blue

FYI, the '06 model was released on the Asian market and Athens Blue is one of the available colors, so don't worry it's not getting discontinued...

Another color you might consider blue is Lakeshore Slate

Actually Lakeshore Slate has the same hue as Caribbean Blue, just less saturation and more value. (Photoshop it and you'll see what I mean)
