You need to make this one *”Wink Wink Periwinkle”* The winks 😉 are for the two colors (blue and tan) you used to come up with periwinkle. This is absolutely stunning!!
Having training as a hairdresser I'm very well acquainted with color wheel 101. With the golden tones in the tan, I expected something in a rich green tone. You do see that green as a shimmer, especially in the last few shots, but the lilac and violet shimmers were definitely unexpected. 5/5 for me!
Initial thought was also green but then I realized the tan had a lot more grey in it (which means there was already some blue there) so I had expected closer to an aqua or teal. I didn't account for how much red/pink was in the initial blue to pull it back to periwinkle.
I predicted a gray shade. It looked like I was gonna be right for a little while. The end color was no where near what I thought it would be. Initially, it appears lavender, but the more you look at it, the more blue it becomes. I give it a 5 for uniqueness.
Just yesterday my 5 year old was painting paper plate critters and she made tan from white yellow & red, then mixed it with primary blue. First I though she was just starting to make a mess but after it mixed she got this beautiful soft blue. And now today I get to see this beautiful color used with quality paints sprayed onto a car 💙 I guess I need more of this color in my life lol
something to observe - your 5 year old never actually added in blue's complementary color of orange at any point... possibly why this combination doesn't turn into a chromatic grey.
I’ve been in the paint industry for twenty years, and it still baffles me how some color combos blend and produce the final colors that you end up seeing. I love this final color-easy 5/5.
I have been a painter and digital artist for fifty years, and I agree. 5/5. On my tablet, this sure looks like a periwinkle blue in the glass container. And a blueberry blue on the car. Gorgeous. Would look lush going down the road on a sunny day.
Thats funny, I paused before mixing and was prett close. The main clue was the amount of white in the tan. Its got very little color of a bit of orange maybe. So its going to lighten overall first and then after that mix in the orange which has red that makes that halfway between a purple and teal. Another thing to remember is blue is always stronger than other colors. So 50/50 blue with anything will come out more blue. Something with how human eyes work imo
The Desert Tan tones down the Persian Blue without destroying the color, yet makes a wonderful contrast with the dark trim of the Mustang (the dark tint windows, wheels, grill, etc.). It helps keep the color balanced.
The Desert Tan is made using a White Base as is the Persian Blue plus White Colourant would have been added to both paints originally. That is why the Blue lightened up. Nice combination
Hmmm, didn’t know what color it’d turn into yet have the perfect base color already on on the stang? Could be the beers I had, but something seems sketchy here
I thought it would be a more green color, wasn't expecting a purplish blue. The way it shifts from sky blue to lilac to even violet from some angles is super cool
You need to make this one *”Wink Wink Periwinkle”* The winks 😉 are for the two colors (blue and tan) you used to come up with periwinkle. This is absolutely stunning!!
5/5 I'm quite surprised at how dominant the blue is, yet you've made a more subtle colour by adding the desert tan. I honestly was expecting it to go more green but this is way better than I imagined
Did NOT expect this beautiful pearlescent blue. When I saw the mixing, I realized it's a great shade. The Desert Tan added nice warm undertones to the Persian Blue, which is hard cool tones.
I’m a blue freak, I love every shade of blue! This is a VERY solid 5/5 for me. You could show this car to anyone and nobody would ever guess that tan was part of the mix! BANGER!!!
Honestly i was expecting the Tan to function more like a yellow, and make some kind of swampy green. Would love to see this on white and black speed shapes. And it preserves the colorshift too! 5 out of 5, absolutely Gorgeous!
Didn’t know what to expect. The result is basically quite lovely. Initially it seemed to be on the edge of boring, just kinda… blue. Pretty, but lacking just a little zing. ThenI began seeing the color shifts. I think it’s a great success.😊
this came out beautifully! love the subtle shimmer. the desert tan tempered the fierceness of the persian blue wonderfully. it looks like the sky. i have a feeling this will be a popular combo for lots of folks.
My very first instinct when you described it was it was gonna be a soft green. Once i saw the colors for myself and saw how bright and iridescent the blue is and how subtle the tan is i figured it would end up being a purplish grey. I thought i was right when you were mixing it, but that blue held strong! I would have bet money that would not be the outcome. I'm shocked!
This might be one of if not my favorite color you've done recently. I love the subtle wide color shifts and the Dessert Tan really lightens and pastels out the Persian Blue and it's shifts.
I love this color so much. Definitely a 5/5. It's strange because when it was being mixed it turned an almost silver color, or so it looked like, but then when it sprayed on it felt much darker than the final result looked. A gorgeous color in the end, either way.
This is exactlly what I thought at the start during mixing, and I really do like the color shifts in the paint, the hood shows the best color shift in the video. 5/5 for me
during the mixing I was thinking it was going to be a milky lavender, during the spring though it was matching the blue painters tape, so I think the lavender was coming from the color shift component.
Tans are usually made with majority white and a little bit of color( for other paints like wall paints anyway) and vibrant blues are usually majority blue colorants. The yellowish colors combining with the blues in the undertones looks nice.
I'd give this a 5 out of 5. This Color is Beautiful! As @wiredshini said, it's almost Periwinkle Blue, with Hints of Lavender. Definitely not what I Expected. I was Expecting a Green, since the Desert Tan looked kind of Yellowish, and Everyone knows Blue & Yellow Make Green.
I love it! The color shifting qualities are still there, but I never expected it to hold the blue to purple ish highlights and not see the tan at all. A definite 4+ to me anyway
It’s much better than I expected, even after you mixed it. Wasn’t until you started spraying it that I started to look decent. I’m guessing that a 2:1 mixture of Persian Blue & Desert Tan might look even better. 4.5/5 rating.
The colour is exactly as I expected, blue is a very powerful colourant. What I did not expect was brightness, seeing the reds and salmons rise out of the finish as the camera walked around the car. 4 out of 5
I give this a 5. The color is so elegant. A subtle blue/gray. I knew it wouldn't be brown, but I thought it would have more of a green tint because there was so much yellow in the tan. I love it.
As an oil painter that blue with that tan resulted in exactly how I expected it. The part I really liked was the pearl in the blue. It made it quite nice. When I paint and I don’t have black handy I use a brown and a blue. Burnt Umber + Ultramarine Blue = Black. It would also depend on how transparent the colors are.
I paint with watercolors, and I was taught to always mix my blacks and browns for more depth, using complimentary colors. I am surprised by the outcome, but I absolutely love the result! Different mediums have different properties!
I love this video so much. When I studied painting at college, this was the main concept my professor taught us. That mixing colors isn't like mixing on a color wheel. There are so many variables that can affect your end result when mixing. I'm definitely gonna use your guy's video as an example of this in my art classes!
It’s all down to tinting strength and opacity. Some pigments just pack more of a punch, even if they’re the same color. Titanium white and zinc white are a good example. In acrylics zinc white has a tinting strength of almost nothing and it has a low opacity. It’s good for fog and mist in a landscape. Titanium white though behaves much better in blends and does what you’d expect it to do.
Very solid color. I'm a massive fan of it. I had no idea what the base colors looked like, so I just kinda envisioned what I thought it mgiht look like, and it was definitely much darker, though not very brown.
I never would’ve thought those two would make such a beautiful color. I’m learning so much from this channel. I can only imagine how great it looks in person
4.5 It would definitely make you take a second look driving down the road. I would be curious to see some variations of this like 1/4 blue and 3/4 tan and vice versa.
I think I like this more than a regular Persian blue. It's generally too strong for my tastes. This colour is nicely toned down but keeps the beautiful colour shifts.
I love the purple hints/lowlights. I also like the more-muted-than-persian blue. But, I gotta say, the end result was not at all what I expected! Great job!
In all honesty I actually like this colour more than if it was just the blue on it's own, the tan mixed in makes it more of a subtle blue and I love it. Also nothing boring about this colour, 5/5 I am a fan. I'd call it a periwinkle blue colour (which fun fact is actually a colour that appears in nature on Periwinkle flowers)
I genuinely expected this, 100 percent, and rate it a total 5/5 for the subtle color shift, absolutely spectacular turn out in my opinion. The tradition of Gabe's concern being a GOOD sign reigns on!
As an artist i guessed it would be a soft blue , but because the paint colours are mixed using lots of pigments its not totally predictable, especially because of the pearl , its quite beautiful in a subtle way . 4/5
Reminds me of a bit of a 1960s air force staff car in the jug. But it is a soft blue on the car. Must have been some red in the tan. Good for finding it, in a bunch of Mustangs. Hated that when I was test driving. Finding a car when 15 others are also trying find the car for the day out of 400 cars in the lot. The timing of pushing the key fob is crucial.
I'm completely surprised at how well this turned out. I was expecting a boring mid-tone brownish color and instead it came out like this. That is a very pretty blue and the subtle shifts add depth. 4/5.
It came out looking pretty good. Like Gabe, I was expecting something horrible, but it came out looking great. The sad part is that when you were mixing it, it got my hopes up because that sort of blueish gray you had in the gallon looked amazing, but obviously, it changed once sprayed. It's a 5/5 for me.
I did not expect a periwinkle color from that combo, but I was confused why you guys thought it would be dark. I definitely thought the desert tan would dilute the blue... 🤔 I do like the color, so it'd be a 4/5 for me.
I would use that color to paint minis. As someone who paints mini's, I mix a lot of colors. I found that a bright yellow and bone white makes a color that's great for bamboo. I give it a 4.5, I really like it and it's really nice, though I liked how it looked more in the blending process. I see why it came out lighter then Persian blue, the desert tan ended up lightning the blue up a bit, and gave it a bit of a pearl look.
That’s one of the most beautiful colors yet. I love the subtle color shift you still get. I normally wouldn’t pick a blue car, but if this were an option, I’d grab it. 💝
I got recommended this video entirely randomly, but 5/5!! The normal Persian Blue would be a bit too intense for me but this actually perfect. You just made my dream car
It's always worth (YOU GIVING IT A SHOT) and showing everyone if it works out. The amount of color combos that exist in your inventory provides more than enough for people to choose from without risking an expensive failure. Thankyou for doing these videos so people dont risk failures.
Wow. That was a surprise! I was team Gabe, expecting a bucket of meh, but that was a really lovely blue with a subtle pearl shift. The blending and pour showed periwinkle so I was surprised the end spray came out as a strong cornflower color. I'd be quite happy to have that on my car! 5/5.
gorgeous color. when mixing, i noticed a greenish shimmer, and i'm glad i can still somewhat see that in a cyan highlight. absolutely beautiful, especially with the purple undertones.
That's a 5 in my books. Blue is my favorite color but this not what I expected from the 2 colors being mixed and frankly, I dig it! The more I look at it, the more I really like it!
I'm generally not a fan of blue vehicles but I genuinely LOVE this color, subtle pastel kinda look really works. Got me wondering how my Nissan 720 would look in that color combo, great work guys!
I also expected brown. As it was mixing it appeared almost lilac, but as it poured I could see the final blue. I like it, with the hints of tan on the edges and contours.
That’s a gorgeous, subtle & at the same time, slightly aggressive, smokey blue colour. Love it. Was definitely expecting it to be more brown, but it came out amazingly
Tan is blue, red and yellow with white to lighten it up from brown. Adding the Persian blue would add to the blue in the mix and the white would tone it down. The color shift really helped this from becoming boring. It’s a nice color.
Not what I would have expected. The result is much bluer than anticipated. I was thinking it would be something somewhat greener but not really 'darker'. I like the color 5/5. A series of different mixes with from 10% Persian Blue up to this 50% would be interesting.
I only work with miniature paints but color mixing is always really interesting. Different paints of the same color can achieve different affects when mixed simply due to the manufacturers using different recipes to get the same hue. A lot of them are multi-pigment with different opacities and coverage. Darker colors are usually stronger as well due to having larger pigment particles. Combine all of that and you wind up getting some surprising results when mixing up your own colors.
I did not expect it to look so good! It turned out to be a muted soft blue and very attractive far better than i expected it to come out.. Must admit I am a bit surprised at how good it looks!!!!
I actually was expecting a lighter blue due to the fact that Persian Blue is so strong/vibrant.Ended up in between a blue and purple I'd say. not bad. However now I am intrigued to see what would happen if you add a 3rd color (at 50%) :)
3 - I expected something in a green tone based on the color wheel (with Desert Tan being 'yellowish'). I loved the lightness of the color before it was sprayed. It looked more lilac or periwinkle. That would have been cool.
Gabe! 💪 good on you for getting more camera face time. You bring a good balance to these episodes, respect for your sense of balance between good ideas and practicality. It always cracks me up when you laugh at something because it’s usually like there’s this thought ‘ah man, wtf?! How’s this going to work?!’
Omg I love love love this color! 5 definitely! I wondered if the tan would act like a white and lighten the blue, could you imagine adding a unicorn pearl or hypershift to this!
Not what I was expecting at all. It's actually a great color. Need to do a series of having two employees pick two random colors and mix them. No matter what they are
Definitely a 5 plus. It’s the most beautiful shade of blue that I’ve ever seen on a car. I will say I would have never thought tan would work as it did here. I don’t like when people think blue & tan work. In this case, I’m glad to be wrong. I thought it was going to look muddy. Excellent job.
5/5, it's like the color of the sky with some nice iridescent reflections. Literally a perfect recreation of the color of the sky. I love it. It also pops alongside that dark trim. I want this color on my car lol.
Gorgeous! Definitely a 5! It's just almost a lavender, but not quite - I don't know how that happens with no red at all in the mix, but it's beautiful!
I have an extensive background with color theory. This honestly turned out close to the color I had in my head, which was more of a slate. But, this color is just beautiful. And, I didn’t expect to see the tan in the shimmer, which somehow gives the cool blue a warmth. It’s fantastic! 6/5 I definitely want a car painted with this color.
1:45 There is a colour I've seen on an ad for a Mercedes truck (of all things) a long time ago, and on some cars too, but rarely, which is kind of like a bronzy-brown colour, which is to die for -- it is simply _the_ most gorgeous colour you could put on a vehicle. I can't remember if it was metallic or not -- I think it was. But the effect was stunning, whether metallic or not.
Fantastic! 5/5! I know I’m late with my comment because the video is old. But this color is far better then the regular Blurple. What if you could coat it with Deep Sea Crome. I think would be much more better.
Can’t dip cars in Australia ( I don’t think anyway) but still a long time watcher, first time commenter. This colour combination totally blew my mind, was expecting a olive greenish sort of muck, but instead it turned into an almost forget me not blue, my favourite colour!! Love the experiments, the mixing is mesmerising and love the constantly exasperated face Gabe wears, 😂 and of course, the cars.
*Ok be honest.. what did you think would happen?*
I've always wanted to see a "dirty spray" where the colors are not mixed.. would it be a faded marbling?
Maybe, pour into the cup with tubing? (Straws maybe?)
More mixing colours 😉 4/5
i expected the brown to show more.
You need to make this one *”Wink Wink Periwinkle”* The winks 😉 are for the two colors (blue and tan) you used to come up with periwinkle. This is absolutely stunning!!

You do see that green as a shimmer, especially in the last few shots, but the lilac and violet shimmers were definitely unexpected. 5/5 for me!
I too expected a shimmer of green, based on the idea that brown, including tan, is actually a form of yellow.
It looks like periwinkle almost
It pulled the blue from indigo towards cyan. I expected a little more green too, like teal.
Oh my GAHD! How lovely! I thought it was going to be a pretty green.
Initial thought was also green but then I realized the tan had a lot more grey in it (which means there was already some blue there) so I had expected closer to an aqua or teal. I didn't account for how much red/pink was in the initial blue to pull it back to periwinkle.
I predicted a gray shade. It looked like I was gonna be right for a little while. The end color was no where near what I thought it would be. Initially, it appears lavender, but the more you look at it, the more blue it becomes. I give it a 5 for uniqueness.
It’s almost iridescent, right?
Yeah, it is at certain angles. I'd so love to have any vehicle that has this iridescent finish to it. It looks beautiful.
Same here
looks like he added more blue
Yeah the gray in the mixer was interesting. It was like a gray base with lilac sheen. The final color was way more blue than it looked in the mix.

@@kgoblin5084 Yellow + red is orange, so there was good reason to be nervous.
Im a painter myself and it sounds like your kid knows what they’re doing when it comes to mixing the paints haha, very cool 😎
I expected June bug green. Pleasantly surprised. Love the pearl flashes and almost periwinkle base color.

I never expected the mixture to turn out as a frosty and sophisticated periwinkle with pearlescent violent shine. I think it’s gorgeous!!
I love the color! I expected something like a muddy brown. I think you should call this color “Persian Desert,” or “Persian Sky.”
"Oasis"

Persian Sand!!!

I actually really like this. It’s kind of bordering on periwinkle which I did not expect at all from this mix. It’s nice. 4/5

That's the colour I'd call it too. I give it a 3.5. I was expecting mud.
My thoughts exactly. Like a deep periwinkle.
Periwinkle Blue is best suited to caravans. Fer me Ma.
"actually"
I thought it would be a more green color, wasn't expecting a purplish blue. The way it shifts from sky blue to lilac to even violet from some angles is super cool

Did NOT expect this beautiful pearlescent blue. When I saw the mixing, I realized it's a great shade. The Desert Tan added nice warm undertones to the Persian Blue, which is hard cool tones.
With the tan being closer to yellow, I thoroughly expected a green color. This turned out really well. I love it.
Exactly what I thought as well!

Yeah it is surprising that the tan worked more like a red in this case.
I thought a tinge of greenish as well
That's exactly what I was thinking.

Didn’t know what to expect. The result is basically quite lovely. Initially it seemed to be on the edge of boring, just kinda… blue. Pretty, but lacking just a little zing. ThenI began seeing the color shifts. I think it’s a great success.😊
Honestly its refreshing to see non colorshift pearls once in awhile
agree
@@dipyourcar I agree as well. Especially since pearls can start to get pricy fast. Plus lots of the performance series colors look so good!
In some angles it has a slight purple shift.

I would use that color to paint minis. As someone who paints mini's, I mix a lot of colors. I found that a bright yellow and bone white makes a color that's great for bamboo. I give it a 4.5, I really like it and it's really nice, though I liked how it looked more in the blending process. I see why it came out lighter then Persian blue, the desert tan ended up lightning the blue up a bit, and gave it a bit of a pearl look.
That’s one of the most beautiful colors yet. I love the subtle color shift you still get. I normally wouldn’t pick a blue car, but if this were an option, I’d grab it. 💝
If I ever had the chance to buy new, I would strongly consider this color.
that’s a gorgeous color blue
I got recommended this video entirely randomly, but 5/5!! The normal Persian Blue would be a bit too intense for me but this actually perfect. You just made my dream car
It's always worth (YOU GIVING IT A SHOT) and showing everyone if it works out. The amount of color combos that exist in your inventory provides more than enough for people to choose from without risking an expensive failure. Thankyou for doing these videos so people dont risk failures.
Wow. That was a surprise! I was team Gabe, expecting a bucket of meh, but that was a really lovely blue with a subtle pearl shift. The blending and pour showed periwinkle so I was surprised the end spray came out as a strong cornflower color. I'd be quite happy to have that on my car! 5/5.
Gabe would be boring without Fonzie. They make a great team. You need both Chaos and Order!!
gorgeous color. when mixing, i noticed a greenish shimmer, and i'm glad i can still somewhat see that in a cyan highlight. absolutely beautiful, especially with the purple undertones.
That's a 5 in my books. Blue is my favorite color but this not what I expected from the 2 colors being mixed and frankly, I dig it! The more I look at it, the more I really like it!
I'm generally not a fan of blue vehicles but I genuinely LOVE this color, subtle pastel kinda look really works. Got me wondering how my Nissan 720 would look in that color combo, great work guys!
This is a 4/5 for me, absolutely lovely. The softness of the color contrasts nicely with the more aggressive shape of the car. :D
I also expected brown. As it was mixing it appeared almost lilac, but as it poured I could see the final blue. I like it, with the hints of tan on the edges and contours.
That’s a gorgeous, subtle & at the same time, slightly aggressive, smokey blue colour. Love it. Was definitely expecting it to be more brown, but it came out amazingly
yeah
i give this a 4.5 out of 5. i actually expected it to be a lot more gray. it’s beautiful 🤩
Tan is blue, red and yellow with white to lighten it up from brown. Adding the Persian blue would add to the blue in the mix and the white would tone it down. The color shift really helped this from becoming boring. It’s a nice color.
Not what I would have expected. The result is much bluer than anticipated. I was thinking it would be something somewhat greener but not really 'darker'. I like the color 5/5. A series of different mixes with from 10% Persian Blue up to this 50% would be interesting.
I only work with miniature paints but color mixing is always really interesting. Different paints of the same color can achieve different affects when mixed simply due to the manufacturers using different recipes to get the same hue. A lot of them are multi-pigment with different opacities and coverage. Darker colors are usually stronger as well due to having larger pigment particles. Combine all of that and you wind up getting some surprising results when mixing up your own colors.
I did not expect it to look so good! It turned out to be a muted soft blue and very attractive far better than i expected it to come out.. Must admit I am a bit surprised at how good it looks!!!!
I actually was expecting a lighter blue due to the fact that Persian Blue is so strong/vibrant.Ended up in between a blue and purple I'd say. not bad. However now I am intrigued to see what would happen if you add a 3rd color (at 50%) :)
This is an amazing effect It looks like a 3D render, the way all the body lines stand out!
I knew the blue would remain dominant but it's much prettier than I expected. Nice work!
The combo of paint is a 5. I'm impressed how well it turned out. For me tho those rims need to be darker, but that is just a personal preference.
3 - I expected something in a green tone based on the color wheel (with Desert Tan being 'yellowish'). I loved the lightness of the color before it was sprayed. It looked more lilac or periwinkle. That would have been cool.
Gabe!
💪 good on you for getting more camera face time. You bring a good balance to these episodes, respect for your sense of balance between good ideas and practicality.
It always cracks me up when you laugh at something because it’s usually like there’s this thought ‘ah man, wtf?! How’s this going to work?!’
😊
I love how it’s like a matte blue with subtle color shifting 4/5 for sure
Omg I love love love this color! 5 definitely! I wondered if the tan would act like a white and lighten the blue, could you imagine adding a unicorn pearl or hypershift to this!
Figured it would remain a Blue and be lighter but the pearl effect was a surprise. Clear coat over will result in a vehicle I'd drive.
Not what I was expecting at all. It's actually a great color. Need to do a series of having two employees pick two random colors and mix them. No matter what they are
Definitely a color to consider keeping for your works, but some colors don't always make the same tints.
That's actually a really nice subtle effect. Basically a sky-blue, with low-key hints of colorshift.
Looks great. Well suited to the mustang.
Definitely a 5 plus. It’s the most beautiful shade of blue that I’ve ever seen on a car. I will say I would have never thought tan would work as it did here. I don’t like when people think blue & tan work. In this case, I’m glad to be wrong. I thought it was going to look muddy. Excellent job.
5/5, it's like the color of the sky with some nice iridescent reflections. Literally a perfect recreation of the color of the sky. I love it. It also pops alongside that dark trim. I want this color on my car lol.
I'm not a car girlie, I'm an artist and poet... But I can see why I got recommended these vids. This color is fracking stunning
Gorgeous colour 5/5
I was thinking some sort of green, but it mixed grey. The pour looked grey shot with blue glimmers. The end result is fabulous.
Gorgeous! Definitely a 5! It's just almost a lavender, but not quite - I don't know how that happens with no red at all in the mix, but it's beautiful!
4.5/5 it's like someone layered an otherworldly metal case over the car and I absolutly love it!
5/5 gorgeous blue with a fantastic shimmer. Nothing like I expected!
was not expecting the mild color shifting properties. beautiful.
Got to admit, the color surprised me. I thought it would either be too dark or too like, but man that is a nice blue. Love it!
Love that the blue color stayed true, just toned down. I would love to repaint my van
Wow that's beautiful, really nice mix between muted and color shifting between sky blue and almost like the color of lavender plants... Really nice
I have an extensive background with color theory. This honestly turned out close to the color I had in my head, which was more of a slate. But, this color is just beautiful. And, I didn’t expect to see the tan in the shimmer, which somehow gives the cool blue a warmth. It’s fantastic! 6/5 I definitely want a car painted with this color.
I paused this at 5 mins in...the colour almost looks like periwinkle.....once applied to the car it's a dark periwinkle...love it❤
5! I knew it would be gorgeous from the start. The beige just mutes the blue and softens it out.
I was gonna say something gray but then when you sprayed it, it looked so different! It looks like French Lilac after! Nice! 5 stars!
Definitely expected more of a green shade but I guess the yellow wasn’t enough to overtake, just enough to dim.
Really pretty color!
That color shift from blue to purple . i love this !
5... definitely didn't expect THAT color! Blew my mind what came out of it.
1:45 There is a colour I've seen on an ad for a Mercedes truck (of all things) a long time ago, and on some cars too, but rarely, which is kind of like a bronzy-brown colour, which is to die for -- it is simply _the_ most gorgeous colour you could put on a vehicle. I can't remember if it was metallic or not -- I think it was. But the effect was stunning, whether metallic or not.
Not what I was expecting it all but it does make sense to me how it turned out. 5/5 absolutely love this color.
4/5, it's got a lot of feel and somewhat dimension to it! I love it
Fantastic! 5/5! I know I’m late with my comment because the video is old. But this color is far better then the regular Blurple. What if you could coat it with Deep Sea Crome. I think would be much more better.
Beautiful shade of blue. Did not expect it to look that good, but i'd drive that color all day
Can’t dip cars in Australia ( I don’t think anyway) but still a long time watcher, first time commenter. This colour combination totally blew my mind, was expecting a olive greenish sort of muck, but instead it turned into an almost forget me not blue, my favourite colour!! Love the experiments, the mixing is mesmerising and love the constantly exasperated face Gabe wears, 😂 and of course, the cars.
I totally expected a dark green, but I really love the way they mixed together! 5/5 You should offer this as a mix for sure :)
