Default Smurf Blue

Rapid Blue looks more like Smurf Blue. Don't you agree?

Maybe. But it goes good with rapid blue.
You could also say rapid blue looks like sky blue.

looks good in person, but looks like the Mustang Blue so not interested in anything that looks like what is on a Ford.

Maybe, but so what?

Looks a lot like Ford's Grabber Blue. Personally, I wish they would have gone bolder with a shade more like VooDoo Blue.

That narrows your choices significantly.

Rapid is doing double of the bottom ones. Was also on constraint on early orders
Still doing same as Silver and I’ll bet by the end it’ll be in the top 7
l’m a fan of the mclaren blue

Keep in mind the vast majority of people who ordered cars did not have the opportunity to see all the colors on cars.

Better safe than sorry purchase decisions?

Wow.
How original.

Rapid Blue looks amazing and exotic in person.
If it's a smurf, it's a Smurfette.

If the rapid blue on the C8 as good as I hope it is... that's the color I'll go for! But here's the problem with colors like this and the Miami Blue I posted above... It varies in it's tint depending on the lighting. These shades of blue are difficult to capture in a picture that will accurately represent what it really looks like.
