For as long as I have had my 8, it has always bothered me how off the colors were in the "View on Vehicle" feature. It finally bothered me enough to do something about it and I e-mailed the webmaster about it. I expected some canned cooperate-y response, but I got this:

I took a look at some of the colors and they look a lot better, particularly the Black Cherry (IMHO).

I am going to let them know that the Nordic Green (my car color) is a lot better but still a bit too... green... lol.

Thinking more about it I figured I would take a few responses from the community on the rest of the colors before I get back to him. I have never seen Phantom Blue in person and I figured someone else would have a better idea then I.

I'll gather your opinions for a week or so before I respond to TR.

Thanks all,

SW

 

lol. good job. the colors do look better. but phantom is still way off. looks more like winning. nordic is too rich. crm looks okay, and so do the rest of them.

where's the stormy blue?

tell them to change the corners and get a drop!.

 

That's what I thought about the Phantom Blue. I'm curious if there is a compendium of what colors were available for each year. I also kind of feel like there are more cars with spoilers than without. I wonder if Mazda has statistics on options sold each year...
