Show me your Phantom Blue Mazda!

[ZoomVT]

So i have been looking at the new colors on the 07 mazda 3 and i was very curious to see a phantom blue. When i stopped by the delaer they didnt have any but they had this color palette and it looked kinda cool.
On the website it looks like an aquamarine kinda color; while on the color palette; which was the actual pain on small piece of plastic (like a bumper cutout) it looked different. It had this green hue to it that was pretty mesmerizing. SO i am curious as it would be nice to have such unique color; does anyone have this color? maybe your dealership has one? take some pictures and post them here.

Thanks!

Phantom Blue can also be found on the '07 RX-8, and '06-'07 Mazda5.

its kinda cool in person, but not really my bag. Aurora blue FTW!!! (thats what my mom just bought).

If the Phantom Blue is anything like the sort of aquamarinish color I had on my 92 Accord Coupe, it should be very nice, at least until someone caves-in the rear 3/4 panel in the LAX long-term parking lot.

I went with the Aurora Blue, but I don't know what FTW means.

hey wrongpres thanks for the pic!. you dont happen to have any more do you?
That angle doesnt show a large paint surface and i want to see how refelctions and light angles affect the paint. When i saw the sample depending on the angle you could basically see just a metallic green and barely a tint of blue but then othertimes it was a lot like the winning blue.

Here are a couple more. I didn't take these pics but I have seen the Phantom Blue on a Mazda3 in person and these pics are representative of how it looks in bright sunlight.

oh man that is a very cool color. I guess there are not many of these around; i called 5 dealerships in a 250 mile radius from my house and none of them had it; and it is getting difficult to even get a GT with options.

wrongpres how do you feel about this color? I know you have a Ti. Grey like i do; and i am in between the galaxy greya nd phantom blue; what do you think?

[wongpres]

Hey, it's wongpres, eh! Phantom Blue is a very nice color - it was the main marketing color for the Mazda5 (the first vehicle with this color). I'd have no problems with it.

I've also seen a Mazda3 with Galaxy Grey and it's also very nice. Colors are completely subjective.

FYI, from the information I got from my dealer there was only one Mazda 3 S Touring in Phantom Blue Mica originally ordered in the entire North East of the US, and I got lucky enough to get it. (first)

They also told me since it's built in Japan it would be a little while before anymore show in the northeast.
