Default What colour is this sapphire?

I know the eBay listing has finished, but what colour is it? And does anyone know the paint code?

Regards
Matt

Well if Mercury Grey was a Cosworth only colour, then it's not this, neither is it Flint grey as this was a Cosworth only colour which that car isn't!

See mine below, this is 'Flint Grey'



Was a rare colour only made for around 3 years and only avaliable on Saph Cosworths and turbo technics XR4x4's.

Unless of course he has sprayed it.
