Factory Blues & Styling

A couple of quick ?s.

What is the factory light blue called? the 83' I'm getting is that color but seriously wheathered.

Second, did the SAs come factory with the rear lip spoiler(like the Mariah Mode One Rear Lip Spoiler )

Saw one the other day and am planning on stopping to see if its for sale.

There's also Misty, but I don't remember the code.

The spoiler was a dealer installed option.

Here is a list of paint codes.

Here is a fine example of the Tender Blue (V3) color. This is Iotus' old car. It now belongs to codeblue2. Beautiful car IMO.

The 83GS in my avatar is misty blue, which still gets good comments after 23 years.

Its V3 Tender Blue just faded after two years in the sun, that cardomain link helped out; got lucky with the factory black interior as the rear had louvers and the seats were covered. (only problem inside is the doors for the bins are off their hinges).

Thanks,
Eric

Man, you got lucky with the black interior, my Tender Blue came with brown interior. Who the hell would put those two colors together!
