Is this phantom Blue?
Sheesh this color sure does live up to its name.. can't find this anywhere! But its awfully nice... Im considering this particular one.. It has the lighter tan color leather and its a grand touring 2007 model with 13K miles on it..

Yes, it's Phantom Blue. Very nice color. I'm going to add tan leather interior to my PB Sport--would love to see pics of the interior. PM me where it's located.

Phantom is a nice color, but nothing compared to the blue it replaced.

Phantom Blue is far superior to Winning Blue. No question. No debate. This can be objectively proven. De gustibus et coloribus non disputandum est!

that may be the only reason why one color is "superior".
then there are personal taste and opinion. for example: if a **** color pearl ferrari was given to me, i'd send it out to a high end paint shop before i'm caught dead driving it.
but for me, i do agree that blue was a good color. i hated blue... but have owned and loved a previous car that was a midnight blue pearl. having painted the bumper a few times, i learned the paint more and come to appreciate the pearls a lil more.
just my 2cent

i'm guessing the phantom is a pearl color. though it may not stand out like a metallic color, the material are more fancy.

My only disappointment with WB is that looks like the blues you get on other makes of car, though i do love that the rx8 comes in 4 different shades of blue.
at any given autox, my PB stands out.
I have some pics of mine next to a WB, ill upload later. but PB's look depends on lighting conditions.

You dont show up to most autox tho 
Urs looks amazingly clean though. Mine was water spotty from spending the night outside in melbourne, and the previous week since the last autox dirty. but still... for comparison, here:
