I was setting up my 'in control account' for my new F-Pace [ Loire Blue].
To identify my car the system gave " F-Pace, colour: 1AM Blue " ...

so " I am Blue " ....

They had a sense of humour when they called it Loire Blue. Here's my Bentley Continental GT next to the River Loire at Saumur.




The Loire is always a muddy brown without the slightest trace of blue!

A Bentley in Loire Blue.. ..it is a classy colour indeed..

Yep, you are right... .. I even checked the source on streetview [ [color=#222222]44°50′38″N 4°13′12″E ].
The water starts out clear, from a mountain spring near Mont Gerbier de Jonc.
Soon its dark and muddy...
