Default Ultra Blue in the US Bay Area?

Anyone own or know somebody in the Bay Area who owns an Ultra Blue Jag?
I've never seen one in the flesh and am looking to buy an Ultra Blue F-Type R sight unseen from out of state!
The one thing I'm nervous about is how the color looks in real life!
It doesn't even need to be an F-Type though that would be preferable . Just needs to be Ultra Blue Metallic.
Can anyone help me?
No need for anyone to be with the vehicle I just need to see one parked up somewhere in the Bay Area.
Thanks in advance for all your help,
Peter.

Not in the Bay Area so I can't show you my Ultra Blue but I can offer some advice. Scan the internet and look for pictures of Ultra Blue cars. For some reason that color is hard to photograph. Some of the pictures make the color look terrible.

I would have paid more for the one I got had the dealer photographed it correctly. The photos they took made the color look like blue chalk. Due to that I watched it sit on the dealer lot for a while. I then found some photos on this forum that looked much better, only then did I decide to drive out of state to see the car.

Thanks for the advice. Can you post a couple of photos that in your opinion are real world. There is so much variation depending on how the car is lit!

In the real world Ultra Blue looks more like this:




Than below. I am not sure why some of the photos come out looking like this.

I have tons of pix of two ultra blue cars of friends, taken under different lighting, but with my same Nikon. Here are a few, I have many more…

Thanks for the pics!
As an aside I love your rims! Those don't look like standard. What are they?

Mine is the salsa red convertible. I have the 19” “propellers”, which were standard on the V6S.

Below are links to two reviews of Ultra Blue F-Types . One is a 2017 4 pot and the other is a 2018 SVR.

Those Canadians are young fools but extremely entertaining!
Their smiles matched mine when I test drove the R!
Thank you for the vids.
