My dealership was allocated 2 EVOs. A lightning Yellow with no sunroof and a high spoiler and a Blue with a sunroof and a high spoiler. I was given the choice and I chose the blue ...even though I didn't want the sunroof Oh well...

Hey a quick question.. About the blue that the US Spec Evo will be painted.. Is this the same color as the blue on the Outlander or the horrible blue the Eclipse is painted? I hope the Outlanders blue is the color because I think that is as close to French Blue as we can get!

I dont know if im going to take it yet. He said they will get another one in March. So he is trying to find out what color it will be and what options it will have and I will make my choice then.

Ahhh...Well, no sense in taking a color you don't want, especially if you can get your color soon!! My first choice was the blue, but the silver was a very, very close second

tpm17,

The blue color code is T10 based on the tech manual found here:

https://www.evolutionm.net/models/ev...techmanual.php

Here's a quote from GPTourer on the blue color:
Orignially posted by GPTourer
T10 is Pacific Blue on a Mirage Coupe/Outlander but is referred to as "Blue by You"
Hope that helps,

Mark

Which Outlander blue? There are two different blue's on the Outlander.

But I digress...

Of the current Mitsu colors the "Blue By You" that the Evolution comes in is closest to the blue used in the current Lancer. To my mind Blue By You looks darker than the Pacific Blue used on the Outlander or the blue used on the Mirage.

I just accepted red with sunroof. My choices were yellow without sunroof and red with. But after asking numberouse people i know all but one suggested the rally red. rally color. I'm very concerned with resale with colors and after a comment that the yellow looks like an O.Z was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Happy Motoring

To me the color samples look the same (Mirage/Evo), and I am really going by the paint code. T10 is "Pacific blue"/"Blue by you" which is the bright almost neon, if that's possible, looking blue that comes on the Outlander. Not the darker Royal blue that you can get on a regular Lancer or Outlander. I'm not too crazy about it. We haven't sold a single Outlander that color, but it may take on a whole new life on the EVO.
