I know there's a lazer blue, and i think a regal blue? Or something like that. There are 2 kinds of blue cobalts though, one of the type of blue's was a limited time thing i believe.

The 07's have what's called an Electric Blue. It changes between a blue and purple tone depending on the light and has a metal flake to it. I believe the 05's where a Laser Blue. I have a couple pics of mine floating around here somewhere if you wanna check em out. Should be able to check out my profile or garage.

There are actually 3 different blues.. Laser, Arrival, and Electric which was started in 07. Not sure how many of the Electric blues there are though. I have one and have not seen another like it as of yet.

07 may still have the laser blue as an option, but there is also an Electric blue. I own one.

I've not seen this "electric" blue... but the '05s were Arrival, which is a nice bright blue, and the '06s are Laser, which is a metallic blue/purple type of thing...

I really like Arrival better...

Arrival blue was 05. 06 is laser blue, 07 is electric blue.

I have the laser blue, its a darker blue than the arrival. I didnt see much a difference between the laser and the electric, at least not by judging by your pics 1gmfanatik


Electric 07


Laser 06

I'm not too sure about how the Laser Blue looks in person, but I do have another pic posted of the Metal Flake in the paint job. That is prob. one of my biggest sellers on the color.

Maybe he's on to something with it being a limited color. Which would explain the Laser blue still being on some of the other 07's. Either way, I love blue.
