April 30, 2011 in Uncategorized
A few weeks ago we posted a SaabsUnited Exclusive on a test color Saab is currently trying out. Now comes the big question, what name would you put on this color?

The name should be:
Himmelsblå=Sky blue
Btw, can someone tell me how to paste in an avatar/icon!

Nordic Blue or Swedish Blue.

I would say:Caribbean Blue. It reminds me of the blue Caribbean Sea. I guess I’m biased, since I’m from there originally. Well I have a ’92 Talladega Red, Saab 900, named after the Talladega Speedway in Alabama, USA.

Let´s call it Deep water blue!
Alex Lee said on April 30, 2011

Rizla blue! Is the name I would like:-)
See my picture/tag(is it the name of a picture in the IT world) The blue color
of my sweater. Otherwise look at this to see it.

Although I can understand a Suzuki driver for making such proposal, I don’t think Saab should use a tobacco brand .
Yes I know my proposal was an alcoholic beverage.
Khrisdk said on May 1, 2011
In my part of the world Rizla is not used exclusively for Tobacco.
The Non-Tobacco use might help on the alternative thinking though……

Wow! Some VERY nice color names… There should be an SU unofficial contest!
Ruben NL said on May 1, 2011
No offense, but I wouldn’t suggest any Swedish geography, as this type of namegiving is already in use by Ikea.
And I wouldn’t buy a “readthedrawingcarefullyandfixityourselfSaab”.

Nordic Blue/Boreal Blue
WooDz said on May 1, 2011
I think the colour should represent air more than water
I suggest ‘Mistral Blue’
Red J said on May 1, 2011
When I was young everyone in school wanted to have a Mistral bag.
Maybe they could made a Mistral special edition. French brands do it quite often,
Toby K said on May 1, 2011
Volvo do a Mistral Green-very light metalic grey/green
CraigSu said on May 1, 2011
I’m shocked that no one has suggested Jonsson Blue yet, in honor of Jan-Ake. Perhaps that is not enough of an honor for him, maybe he needs to have his own special edition car.

I suggested naming the color after the late Bob Sinclair, but that went over like a Blue lead balloon.
SAAB LANCE said on May 2, 2011
Absolutely a minor variation on a shade of Blue Saab has used at least three times in the past! How and why are we supposed to get excited about stuff like this?

Blue Swade

Aviator Blue.

Out of the Blue.

China Blue (the historical blue color used to paint pottery)
Manlius said on May 3, 2011
Maybe Delft Blue, in honor of SAAB’s Dutch connection (but Delft is a bit darker, I think). I also like the Swedish Blue suggestions above–seems exactly right.
robertp said on May 3, 2011
Well, Delft’s blue is the colour they ‘invented’ in China. Holland was a ‘big’ trading country in the 17th century and they imported that color blue to their local ‘china’ porcelain which then sort of became a national Dutch color.

I wonder no one came up with
“Saabsunited Blue”
MacPeter said on May 4, 2011
What about “PLANET BLUE”?
…cause I like the environmental friendly strategy SAAB is pursuing and what is more blue than our planet earth?
Börjesson said on May 4, 2011
That is actually a very good suggestion!
