Shark Blue or Georgian Blue?

[Chris-h]

Having just taken delivery of my Georgian Blue Golf I tried to buy a paint touch up stick at my local VW dealer. From my registration number he told me my car was Shark blue - I thought it was Georgian blue. Does anyone know if they are the same colour?

Its the same colour, in the UK its know as Georgian Blue but in some other countries like Australia and USA its Shark Blue.

You haven't said which model exactly.

Well the do a Georgia Blue which is more of a grey and Shadow Blue. They don't list a Shark Blue for any Golfs.

Its strange how they call colours different names in different countries?

Thanks guys - I thought it was probably just a different name. I prefer the name Shark blue!

I asked for a touchup stick and they gave me one. This is the only thing they give you apart from a litre of oil, tight bar stewards.

If you want to PM me with your VIN number I will tell you the VW colour code and more details from the number.

My Shadow Blue is P6P, it shows P6 but VW add a P at the end.

Sorry this is an old post talking about car colours but I noticed this link that shows VW have 36 Golf colours. We only have 9 colours available in the UK, there are 11 shades of blue when we only have 1 so who has all the others?

I think Golf colours have got drabber and drabber over the years.

I have noticed that other countries seem to have much more vibrant colours offered than we get .

I have a Mk 4 Golf in Jazz blue which is a really nice colour.

Maybe by the time the Golf Mk 8 appears they'll be offerered in 10 shades of grey.
