It’s definitely not Marine Blue, faded or otherwise.

It is not a Stage 1 colour either but Land Rover did do a "Mid Grey" which is a Dupont colour with a 38508 code but it is very unusual so it could be a special order at the time of manufacture for a specific client.

Could be marine blue it it has always been outside and the paint is turned to dust. Don't know where you are but that is a common occurrence in New Zealand.

I agree on Marine Blue. With further investigation required. Pull off a door trim.
Almost every second local car was that colour but they all seem to have disappeared. Sahara seems to be the main survivor.

Ben, WooHoo :lol: I agree. Java Green all day long. The Stage One in the previous poster's picture is mid grey and I had one exactly the same colour. Also a piccy of whats left of the grey one. It's not faded blue.
Well sorted on the 1 Ton rims as well.
