Smoke Grey/Haze Blue BU15 ICI 3301

Post by svenedin »

My car is Smoke Grey BU15 which is as we all know is not really very grey but more of a light blue. ESM had my car in a few years ago and were going to touch up a few bits but said that their Smoke Grey paint was not a good match. I assumed that this was because my paint is old and faded.

Anyway, I went to a paint supplier today and it turns out that the best match is standard Smoke Grey but I had not realised that this is also known by an ICI paint name "Haze Blue". The name Haze Blue seems much more in keeping with what the colour actually looks like. Something like a blue sky with a haze of cloud. Much nicer name I think!
