The color is a PPG color, Bright Regatta Blue Metallic, not a normal
VW color, I don't think. I posted a pic on the FB Vanagon Owners site,
but don't have a picture sharing account anywhere yet.

I'm hoping that the oil light was either the fact that the engine was
2/3 of a quart low, which I couldn't tell on the road as it was
getting dark and I didn't have a flashlight on me, or the fact that
not all the electrical stuff was hooked up, as in headlights, turn
signals, and such. We'll soon see.
