Let's just hope that's a bad pic. I think the blue is a little darker like the WRX blue

No kidding, when I see blue first thing comes to my mind is SUBARU.......if it is not Blue with Gold wheel is not a Subaru
(I drive a 98 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS Rally Blue of couse with the gold rims) But on a it has to be Rally Red!!

Just my 2cent and most people said if I am an subaru owner
what the hell are you doing in a Mitsu site? Well is simple
I am still descide on what to get STI or Evo 8

But they are both an AWSOME car!!

I'm sure the color has a bit more blue to it than the pic shown above. The pics of the blue and the yellow evos, have left a little to be desired. The colors in each pic are different. The Yellow VIII in Motortrend, looked a little washed. While the yellow Evo in SCC seemed a good bit brighter.

That's the color I expected it to be from the Color Templates provided us.

I told you guys it was going to look like the Pacific Blue on the Outlander.

Those pix look a lot like the infamous "Smurf Blue" (Laguna Seca Blue) off the e46 M3.

It's a marketing quote, but I love it:

“We developed the Evo 8 with one overriding criterion, and that’s performance,” says Arnett. “The car was developed for enthusiasts who don’t want compromise in their vehicle. That was the target.”
- Bryan Arnett, product strategy manager at Mitsubishi.
