This extremely pale pastel blue practically disappears into white under certain light, leaving just a whisper of blue beneath the surface. A softer, more delicate take on the darker early-70s Glacier Blue, this mid-80s shade sometimes gets confused with Gulf Blue but stays notably lighter and more ethereal on 911 and 928 bodywork.
