    Mexico vs. Riviera Blue

    This is a question for the color experts. I was on the phone with my painter today and he asked if I wanted Mexico or Riviera blue, he had 2 different paint codes. I was under the impression that the color was the same with different names at different times. Are they the same color with different names and codes at different times or are they different colors? If someone has pics of both that may help.
    Thanks,
    Bob Aines

    Mexico Blue was introduced in 74 and Riviera Blue was a 95 color. They are close but side by side, they are slightly different. Your paint guy should be able to access a mixing code for each of these. Mexico Blue can be found on the Glasurit color chart, but not sure who supplier was for Riviera Blue.

    Thanks Gib, yes my painter has both codes and I had planned on Mexico Blue originally and will go with it. I just did not know if they were the same color with different names and codes, sounds like slight difference. Thanks.
