Calling All Phantom Blues!!
Post your Pics!! :)
|
Not to be the first to post, but I saw a Phantom Blue in Loveland driving west on HWY 34 still had temp tags. I was in My Miata so they probably didn't see me. The color looks GOOD in person!
|
Check out my Phantom Blue photoset on Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tostie1...7594087696832/

Wow, that is some color! Looks great. Someone said it looked green in certain lights, and I was going to call them colorblind, but now I see what they meant. But that looks REALLY good.
|
Oh my! I'll take one! Reminds me of the color of my 1972 Toyota Celica. I loved that color.
|
:Eyecrazy: :crazy: It is blue... yet... it is green...
looks good, maybe some one have a picture of phantom blue and winning blue side by side to show the difference in color, or the same day/dealership... so they would be in the same light condition... (hopefully some one can do that for Galaxy Gray and Titanium Gray, copper red and velocity red also) |
I wasn't planning on getting the Phantom Blue because the color sample on the website looks ugly. But in person, my jaw dropped. The photos I took don't even capture the range of blues and greens that you can see.

Thanks for reminding me Gomez |
Yeah, I remember seeing that too, but I guess I didn't realize how big of a difference it was.
|
I test drove one in that color, if i'd been able to buy one new off the lot that woulda been it hands down. I fell in love with that color... im happy with my nordic green tho

What's wrong with pearlescent paint?

But Chevy used that paint that at differenet angles ranged from purple to blue to green and everything in between. To me it just looked bad, now I see a bunch of old chevies and big hoopty cars painted with it around here, in differenet varieties from golds to the purples. Just not my taste. |
the phantom blue looks cool
|
They have one at UMazda in Seattle. I saw one and it looks sweet. Its very 2 tones yet looks very cool. Unlike anything on the road.
Also liked the keyless start. Pretty snazzy. Wish I could have one on my 04 |

I've seen the phantom blue on a mazda 5 and in low light or setting sun it looks positively pine green, it looks about 5 times better on the 8 though |
wow this post is really thin. I'm thinking of going with this color if i can order an 8. It looks good. My current one is velocity red aka HEY LOOK AT ME red. A more subtle color might be a nice change.
|
Go for the Phantom Blue! I was skeptical at first, but it's a gorgeous color!
|
Yeah, I saw one at the dealership and LOVED it. Wish we could have more pics of it here though.
|
I see what my next RX8 color will be...if I sell my Nordic Green.
|
What models and years did this color come in? Didn't see it available for 2006 at all and I don't think it is tied to a Shinka package although it should be. Very nice, unique...
Time |
It is only available for the 2006 model in all trim levels.
|
Color looks great but I have to see it in person for myself. I saw a new color @ dealership today but not this one. I'll have to go look around and see if they have any on the lot. If anyone has more pics of this color i'd love to see 'em.

Please post them tonight as you can, for tomorrow will likely be the day i order my next 8. And originally i was thinking winning blue but now i'm thinking phantom... |
Winning Blue looks too feminine. Get Phantom Blue!
|
O.K. What a pain in the butt. Here are the Phantom Blue shots from yesterday
Go Here: http://photos.yahoo.com/fsucharles2000 |
Nice. If I give you my email can you send me the original full res photos?
|
Sure. send away
|
How much would it cost if you went to a bodyshop and had them repaint your car?
|
her name is ayame
|
More phantom blue pictures please!
Where are they? ...This color seems to cry out for a variety of lightning/backdrop shots to get a feel for the range of colors -- we have tostie's collection which are good, but I haven't seen another shot that has a green like he got with the PB. While I'm at it, any idea on how many PB cars sold in the US at this point? |
My 2006 Phantom Blue
|
I actually just got my RX-8 yesterday so I'll be posting some new pics later today!
|
You can find all my new photos on my photoset on Flickr.
Here are a couple to whet your appetite: http://static.flickr.com/57/157443715_8d2f49c883.jpg https://static.flickr.com/70/157448359_c85ce69444.jpg |
bravo!
Looks very nice, not at all like the ugly turquoise color on the Mazda site. Still find it hard to believe that green shot from your earlier set (and wish the car came in that color period). What kind of lighting do you think was going on there that it would look so dramatically different? |
awesome color, looks better than the pics on the mazdausa website, another example of looking better in person. haha
|
that is the color i saw on the road. it looks good in sunlight
|
The shot of the car looking green was taken on a rainy day that was very overcast. The car definitely has its green tones to it, it's just very hard to capture on a camera.
|
Hella neat colour I saw a darker version of the Titanium Grey out there too.
|
The darker (newer) version of the titanium is the Galaxy Grey.
|
Well, I'm sold. If I do end up with an RX-8 this year, it'll definitely be Phantom Blue!
