Some satin blues lose their richness once the sun fades. Admiral Blue keeps its deep navy character while revealing a cool metallic glow that gives every body line more definition.
Admiral Blue sits between a classic navy and a vivid performance blue. Its satin metallic finish softens reflections while letting the metallic grain brighten naturally under changing light. In full sun it shows a cool electric glow across the panels. In the shade it settles into a rich naval blue instead of fading toward black. Compared with many satin blues, Admiral Blue carries more brightness through the bodywork without losing its refined character.
Love those iconic factory blues from BMW, Subaru, or VW? Admiral Blue lets you bring that same performance-inspired color to any vehicle with a refined satin metallic finish.
