great color, can it be bought?
The car is not for sale
I can't comment on the accuracy of the color. Remember, trying to match colors on monitors that are not color corrected is a waste of time. I changed the contrast and white balance on these photos to my taste. Viewing this car in person, the colors don't match the photos. The owner spent some time having panels sprayed to be able to choose one he liked.

That car gets a big thumbs up from me, regardless of color. I still think the first Fuchs are the only pretty Fuchs.

Thank you for posting that beautiful car.
Blues are tough to match accurately in photos (because of the sky). Oslo has a bit of gray in it - looks like the color Raj posted.
That first post color is beautiful though. Really gleams for a solid. More debate here:

It does look very nice. Color debate aside, what else can you share about the car, which I imagine might have been your original intent in posting the pics...?
OMG. I would give an arm, a leg and a piece of my whatever to own a car like that. What a beauty. Thanks for posting.
The owner is a member on this forum and he would be the one to fill in the blanks on the specifics of the car. He has spent a considerable amount of time restoring this to the level you see. I work with him and remember seeing the car on a rotisserie in the back of the shop a few yrs ago. I'll see if he wants to share more specific info when I see him. One thing he did share was the color was a Glasurit color code done with DuPont tints locally which may account for the color differences.
Here's another photo taken in mixed lighting, half sun/shade that shows a different color altogether
