Are these really that much different?

39U - Mystique Blue Flash met.- no idea what color..is it a lighter blue/green maybe?
75U - Techno Gray- Sounds like it may look just like the Dark Silver
79U - Merlot Jewel met.- A darker red maybe but perhaps close to the Amethyst color?


The blue sounds intriguing....anywhere to see it?

so is it victory red or sport red?

Victory red is the bright one from the spring edition. I assume they are doing this as they have shown the panel in this color a bunch.

I kinda like the sport red though...will be bummed if it goes away.

The Tarnished Grey Metallic is probably the same as the current color. Just renamed it to cover all the flaws and "marbelling".....or maybe the new Techno Grey is to cover for the marbelling.

Oh, I did see the Merlot Jewel, I think...on a test car. Think you'll like it. Deeper red with more brownish purple.

I'm thinking the victory red and the blue flash met. may be just for the Panel. Could the Merlot Jewel Met. be the replacement for Sport Red?

Glad to see them protecting the special edition colors like my new PE Cappuccino Frost. These new colors sound nice, can't wait to see 'em especially if they're on the panel.

Did some research and here's what I came up with.

Techno Grey - check bottom of post #1 on Saturn Aura - looks like DSM

Merlot Metallic - looks like Sport Red

Mystique Blue Metallic - See post #6
