Baby or Powder blue is a funny fooker imo.Looks bloomin different in every kinda light.Get it outside and it goes paler and more pastely,under room light can almost look sky blue. ::)

the only way to get a decent match is to colour match with something that is the right colour, your forks for example LOL
