The color is either Wolfram Grey which is kind of a gunmetal grey color or Dove Blue which is a true blue grey. Dove blue was very common on 85-89 Vanagons. -----Original Message----- From: Michael Elliott [mailto:j.michael.elliott@GMAIL.COM] Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 10:24 AM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Official Paint Color Name My daughter and I spotted a later model Vanagon Westy that was a dark grayish blue. We discussed what this color might be called. She liked "slate gray," but I felt it was too blue for that. I told her that I could find out what VW called it. Now, before she gets home from school . . . can someone help me out with this so I can remain (in her eyes) all-knowing . . . and avoid becoming the doofus I know I really am? -- Hoping the spirit of John Wallace is with you, I remain Mike "Rocket J Squirrel" Elliott 71 Type 2: the Wonderbus 84 Westfalia: Mellow Yellow ("The Electrical Banana") KG6RCR |
