Blue sky color? And clima?

sladjo · 08-04-2008, 03:31 PM

Hi everybody!
For my first post i would have 2 questions! So:
I'm about to buy a new cee'd, in next 2-3 days, and two closest dealers that i could have reached had only 3 colors available:white, black and sky blue ( 3A). Otherwise, one would have to wait over a month in order to get a different color. I prefered oil blue ( B6) or piston gray (5K), but, not being able to wait so long, i choosed sky blue. But...i have not seen "live" one single cee'd in that color yet, only in pictures. And in the pictures it is...well, or like gray, with no or with very litlle of blue color, or it is very blue. And there goes the first question:
1) So, can anyone tell me what kind of color is that blue sky (3A)? To be more precise: does it incline more to blue or to gray? (Is it maybe of this version of blue

?

) If you had some link i would appreciate. And i have to decide in 2-3 days, have in mind that!
(Or i should forget about it and wait for oil blue or piston gray?)
2) What about those problems with clima? Are there only problems with AC or also with manual clima instalations? ( Could not read all the posts, i have just foud this forum today!

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sladjo,
bellow are some pictures of my Cee'd which is 3A color. I like that color as you don't need to wash the car too often

Also, I don't have issues with my A/C. Anyway, as I understood what people are complaing on, you should not have problems with manual clima.

Dejankr, thanks for answering.
Yet, judging by the pictures you send i´m almost equally confused over the "blue sky"´s silver/blue tone. (It is, infact, 2:1 for silver gray, just on the 3rd picture the blue tint is more visible.Or is it my Opera browser, that can´t show colors correctly?)
Anyway, i have found here some more pictures:
Autoblog (in the midle of the page)
And it seems to be apparently blueish. ( Is it so in the real life?)
Well, that version of blue is ok with me...and the more-silver-gray version, if it comes out to be like that, also. Both colors are normal, nice looking...i was just afraid it would have been some horrible blue, or God knows what.
One more time, thanks and all the best.

I had the same dillema as you when I was buying a car. I wanted this color, but I was not sure what is that color code. My dealer had this car immediatelly available, but until I haven't seen it, I was sure I was looking for oil blue color, not "compass blue". I had some pictures of compass blue cee'd but they really don't look the same as in real life.

So, I advise you to go to your dealer and see that car with your eyes. I am not sure how I would describe the color, as it is some combination of gray and blue, and it could look different depending on sunlight.

Anyway, here are some more pictures of my cee'd (second one is shot by night so you can see it looks different).

Also, you might find this site helpful. Someone collected all Cee'd colors:

Dejan, thaks a lot, your advices were really helpful.
And i just have bought the car, thanks God.

Right now i´m aspecting the answer from the dealer...he promissed to call back in five minutes...and we all know how the time knows to be really, really relative.

...i´m still waiting...there is some paperwork to be done yet, and i should see the car in a next couple of days. Well, that is what the dealer sayd. And if i add to those couple of days theese five minutes...

...let´s wait and see.
( When talking about seeing things, i have not yet seen live that famous A3 color, that is "compass blue", or "sky blue" ( "nebesko plava") ,as Kia Motors names that color in Bosnia and Croatia. And one of the reason is that my dealer has not yet ordered the car, or any other car of that color, from his central in Sarajevo. Let´s wait, then!

)
Thanks again.
