BHeart Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi I've placed my order for a new Fiesta last Monday and I chose Candy Blue for the colour because there is a Fiesta parked in the next road to me and I thought the colour was really nice and, I assumed it was Candy Blue but, I saw another Fiesta in metallic blue today and it looked like the Candy Blue sample in the brochure and on the Ford website but, I thought it looked 'washed-out'. The brochure and website shows impact metallic blue, special metallic candy blue and spirit metallic blue but now, I'm not sure if the colour I first saw was spirit blue? I think that I need to pop round the corner to where the other parked Fiesta is and check it out - I think might knock the front door and ask the owner what colour it is?

Mariner Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Mine is candy blue - it changes colour depending on the light because it is a pearlescent finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHeart Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 Hi, thanks for your feedback. Perhaps it's as you say; changes colour in certain light? I'll pop round tomorrow and have a look at that Fiesta again. Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHeart Posted January 8, 2015 Author Share Posted January 8, 2015 My wifes 64 plate Zetec is Candy Blue. Here is a photo. . Nice colour, thanks for the pic; yes it does look more like the colour that I saw around the corner and also on the TitX in the Ford showroom but, another Fiesta I saw with a metallic blue finish looked washed out.Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paramanic Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Really like the first one but not overly keen on the rest :D I love it but it's a bstard when parking and light changes lol but most of the time it looks like first one or last one but all others only really happen on what type of light hits them (dawn dusk and kind of street lights lol ) but looks no bad in pics but in person looks a lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spirit blue is only available on the ST, so you will have a choice of candy blue (light blue) or deep impact blue (dark blue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHeart Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Ok, so it's defo candy blue or deep impact blue - need to check the one round the corner tomorrow. I went round this morning but the owner must have been at work so, it should be there over the weekend. Think maybe I should have stayed with race red and there would be no confusion then.

Willy Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Candy Blue and Nautical Blue are similar and we're available on the new shape Fiesta. Spirit Blue ST Deep Impact Candy Nautical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laumk7 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Of the two (if it were me) deep impact blue every time, I saw a candy blue in the first showroom I visited when looking for a new car, and I wasn't impressed at all with the almost turquoisey look of the colour, to me its to blue what hot mustard is to yellow ;). Deep impact blue on the other hand, it's a rich intense blue, that imo sparkles, in fact I was very close to picking this colour for my next car, only a couple of factors had me change my mind (personal choices) For STs, spirit blue is gorgeous!

MartynS Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Make a note of his numberplate and look it up on ford etis, that will tell you what colour it is. Saves bothering him and finding a time when he's there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
