I assume you mean DK II blue since you mention that first

If you really need it I can likely dig up the color swatch or whatever it's called that Rich of this old game sent out with the sapphire sparkle color. Personally I never liked that color. I really like the navy blue that was used on Jeff Von Wards DK II. This was the prototype DK II. Apparently Jeff or whoever thought the color was too dark but I've seen it in person and think it looks far better than sapphire sparkle does. Another way to go is to have the paint color matched to the marquee, bezel or whatever.

That is a good idea

I do have the art package from Rich :)

Cheers

Something strange has happened

That color is coming up as Purple
http://www.color-swatches.com/behr/sapphire-sparkle/s-h-550/swatch.html

I need to convert it and found the site

Any thoughts?

adjust your monitor :D
Saphire sparkle was the "official" color" picked by JeffK and I
I also had a blue vinyl sample which was real closer a little darker perhaps
But the Dark Navy used on the Cax proto was way too dark
it almost looks black-IMO

So thats why it was changed to something a little more inbetween the orginal DK light blue and the DArk Cax Proto.

Rich, what color do you see when you click on that link?

Is it correct? I have 2 screens and both show purple
 
was kidding it shows as purple but you cant really use or trust a digital color composite for a paint match.
the pic above of the color swatch is more what its like I think Ive got scans of both the vinyl and paint swatch Ill see if I can dig those up and post them

I do love the color, but my son in law is painting my cab in an auto spray booth, and will get the color pretty close using his paint matching equipment

Thanks for the replies :)
