Well, this question was to appear sooner or later, I didn t know was discussed in length and bredth, still is and probably forever will, so why should not we do it here too.
Don Fogle is the man who introduced this newsletter; he asks if I - or anyone else - can show him a Pantone Matching System color matching Bugatti Blue.
Well, the only real color code Bugatti Blue I is the one used on the plane 100P A painting for it was developed by Dupont, and code for it was - and still is - S55959-UM, and the name is , of course, Bugatti blue aircraft manufacturer of a scale model of the plane recommended Humbrol 25 blue as the closest of this Pim Faber recommends MBA Journal v5 2 mixing Humbrol 25 with 14 brilliant blue matt blue equal proportions.
As for the colors of the racing cars, it really is not a blue Bugatti, as this color has evolved over time he began fairly light, or light - the pictures of the first type 35S in Lyon in 1924, cars look almost white air - then it became darker and more purple, over time, end up as something like that all Bugatti racers in the Schlumpf collection.
I read or heard somewhere that Mrs. Bugatti was in charge of the Bugatti blue, and as she used the blue packets famous French cigarettes as Galoise could then think of original, great, so I buy sigarettes a packet to check with, but it is not too-fetch to assume that this color has changed over time.
A short amount What Bugatti blue, is very different depending on what time we speak.
I'd love to see all the color codes that describe various Blues Bugatti here in this newsletter original codes, as well as modern equivalents or approximations.

In the book by Bugatti Eaglesfield and Hampton appears the text of a description of the magazine of the first type 35S In part, it says when it appeared for the race in Lyon in 1924, the little blue horizon car captured the imagination instantly Unfortunately, Article is not assigned, but it may have been written by Bradley who was in the race.
But the one who wrote the article, there is a heck of a difference between the blue horizon and the deep blue British Standard.
Photographs of the first kind 35S show usually be pale, but a car photographed in 1925 with one of the Italian drivers is obviously darker - perhaps was red.
But most cars Schlumpf and most of the cars that we see elsewhere are darker blue, often with a purplish hue.
Note also that the images of the car the tank show as darker than cars Lyon that appeared later.
So maybe cars Lyon were an aberration and Bugatti blue is the darker version.
Is Bugatti blue assimilate the French racing blue or French racing blue color lighter cars were they painted blue Lyon French races, and other Bugattis painted blue Bugatti.
The pack of cigarettes story told in the book Borgeson is credible enough, but as a matter of personal preference, I like the lighter color for this reason that the chassis of my Grand Sport Amilcar is painted that way the original literature Amilcar describes one of the colors blue clear that my french English dictionary tells me means light blue or pale blue.
If it was good enough for the early 35s type, it is good enough for me and because I don t own a Bugatti, I have not really worrying too deeply the right shade of paint.

24 039 4-1998 David Woodhouse --- quote --- written I think the shadow ranged There is no official French Blue more there is a particular British Racing Green or Italian Red, I'm inclined to go along with the theory of the cigarette package for the years of Bugatti middle, but the real story might be as simple as the blue paint was on hand at the time Certainly this is true of Italian cars and British Ferraris varied from a deep brown to orange and BRM near the green light apple almost black photos time work Bugatti race teams show the first cars entirely clear, appearing almost white in black and impressions white 1930, the team's cars are much darker, probably the color that most Bugatti GP cars are now painted T59s seem even more evidence to convince dark surfaces otherwise, I feel that there is no single shade of blue Bugatti or French Racing Blue, for that matter --- End quote.
From a correspondent, whose anonymity will be preserved, I received a letter, which I take the liberty to send a quote by --- --- T35 beginning Photograph citation s are usually in black and white so you can say t if any light or medium thing was a real cheapskate Schlumpf and painted all cars of the same identical dark blue box and compounded the crime by using the silver paint on many blue shiny coins is just Schlumpf that - blue Schlumpf.
The history of the Gauloise cigarette is probably as good as one can find that's true or not at least it makes some sense, especially when one realizes that although his body GP design was brilliant, EB was not interested in making the body much of this work was left to apprentices and perhaps painting and so, I argue that in the early days, cars were painted in different batches resulting perhaps slightly different shades blue over the years, the original paint or discolored has been repainted so the cars began to look differently and these differences were in turn interpreted by the owners later when having their cars repainted.
There are many other details of color rubber windshield apron - black or red, security screws son for the body - white copper or bronze etc etc that keep nuts Bugatti compete in the small hours it is fun, which is why we do it, but it is only one true answer, I doubt.
I challenge anyone to go to a Bugatti event in modern times and find two cars painted the same blue Everyone has a different idea thank you God.

Well, maybe we should all agree now that the Bugatti blue is blue or I wont escape that easily.
