Kyanite Blue was released to the US, but perhaps a Kyanite Blue Metallic was not?
I like it on the XFR, and it also appears to be a good matche for the 2012+ cars as well.

Right now I have a cold and major headache, my thinking is impaired from normal ; which is why I'm running the different cars/thoughts by the forum as I'm not in full personal powers of judgement.
Kyanite Blue/Caramel XKR drop top, 2011. The wood trim is something darker than the norm and I'm not sure about that detail; however I supposed it could be replaced with different wood trim if I didn't like it.
I think I'm gonna turn in to bed early. Comments would be appreciated, I can't make my own judgement right now.

That is absolutely correct combination- and I am unanimous in that!
There is a reason the ivory interior on a vert has non-matching carpets and much too busy with 3 colors: Ivory carpeting would show a ton of dirt. Dash would be blinding. The Caramel on the other hand is so utilitarian that everything, including the doorsills can be done in a beautiful warm interior.
Incidentally, I preferred the indigo xkr you sent me- same color combo as Moses's AM. But not due to the color, rather its pedigree. Had I not had a similar relationship with my own car, I would have jumped on that one. It comes around once in a blue moon.

After taking a break from work and getting some rest I've been focusing on which are my favorite 5.0 XKR's available.
I came down to two cars that rest at some what opposites:
One a coupe, the other a convertible
One under extended warranty and low miles, the other about to leave its CPO 7 year/100,000 miles on both counts.
One I wouldn't change anything but perhaps the wood inserts to different wood inserts, the other I would get wrapped bright red.
Once you eliminate down to two choices, its a lot easier for the mind to function with a good result.
But ultimately, this wins out. I've principled to where for everything I have, I counter it with invested capitol of equal amount. I don't need to buy insurance for things this way, and it keeps my expenses at a very low drag rate. This is important to me.
Adding a sub 20K mile 5.0 XKR right now would upset that balance, it would be like having the hood fly open on a race track from a financial stand point. I still have a motor, but I need to stop and close the hood losing a lot of time.
I don't want to sell the one I own.
The prices of these cars is trending down, my funds are trending up. A later date for a purchase like this keeps my life with mobility. Its just not the time.
I have a lot of faith in the X150 to hold up to use if its cared for, a high mileage 5.0 XKR in similar condition to the 169,000 mile 4.2 XKR that sold recently would be a no brainer deal for me to do.
The convertible is at 90K, some what worth looking into; but I think I'd rather keep my options open for when another Indigo coupe comes along a blue moon from now.
Pete, on a 2012+ maybe the kyanite blue could win out, but for the older headlight style, this is the blue.

I brought the Aston to a Cars & Coffee at the local Ferrari Maserati dealer. It was quite cloudy out and it made the Aston look super dark to me. I have 26,000 lumens of light in the garage. The color seems more vivid in the garage.
People were digging the car, especially in that color combo. As I was leaving someone came up to me and said a woman wanted to buy it. I saw a woman going up down the car earlier; it must've been her. I just got this car; too early to sell but encouraging.
There was an Enzo that showed up. My favorite Ferrari; what a machine.
