Message Before I begin yes I did search but I really didn't get the definitive answer I was looking for. Plus many of the threads were old and the links to pics were dead.

I'm trying to get some clarity on the TK3 body color. Now I know that between sept 91 and sept 93 it was called Blue Pearl Graphite and after sept 93 it was called Sapphire blue. I've heard that the Blue Pearl Graphite is darker but I'm having a hard time finding pic's that show the difference clearly. Then there's the Midnight Blue which was made in the earlier years, up to Sept 91. There is a Z i'm interesting in buying and I cannot tell if it's an original color or not. Yes I did contact the seller but he hasn't responded yet. I ran a car fax and it was in a minor accident involving the left rear so it's a strong possibility they just painted the whole car over.

Here is the pic of the vehicle in question. What color is this??

Does anyone have pics of a Blue Pearl Graphite car as compared to a Sapphire blue car?

Here is what i could find.

Member Scott(NC)'s car (Blue Pearl Graphite)

Greg's car (Sapphire Blue??)


These pics aren't good to show the difference and honestly they look almost identical given the lighting conditions and i'm pretty good at distinguishing colors.


And for giggles here is a Midnight Blue example
