Anyone know what color blue this is? Andalusite, Riviera, ??

firerod,
Go to my public album pages. My '31 Roadster is Washington Blue with Riviera Blue belt. I've not paid attention to the '28/'29 blues. Russ

Hope this helps. Jim

Looks like Lombard blue to me. Could be Washington but looks a bit darker on this screen.
But each view has different color tints so....
Don't recall that Lombard is a correct color but who really cares about correct if you like it??!!

Sorry I cannot help but had to say - great color choice - different yet still works as period correct.

Andalusite with black belt rail

Thanks, I found out it is Andalusite.

Yes - Andalusite Blue, over black wheels, fenders etc (including the radiator shell). Plus French Grey pinstripe (looks possible on my computer monitor).

AB, FG stripe over black - correct for 1929.

Fenders??

Proper original Andalusite Blue is so dark, most people at first think it is black. Indoors it looks black. It is only when the sun is shining on it directly does it start to look blue. Or you walk up close and compare the the black fenders that are next to it. Then you see the blue hues by difference.

Ford used many other dark blues that still look blue indoors, without sun shining on them directly. They are not Andalusite Blue.
