Aqua won't show for a few more weeks. Be patient, grasshopper.

In the meantime, maybe this will help. Here's my Mexico Blue getting Dymags.
Glamour shots to follow soon.

Nope. Not Aqua. That's a color that's been around plenty before. I'm guessing that it will be lighter by far.

Thanks.
The centers are magnesium and kind of a matte gray. The rims are carbon fiber and just received a fresh factory clear coat. This weekend I'll have a chance to do the set-up photographic justice!

My guess is that Aqua will be a light metallic blue along the lines of Azurro/Minerva. Kind of a Thelma/Louise '65 T-Bird shade.

A light blue metallic.
