Default Superior Blue vs. Deep Cobalt Blue

Hello,

Looking to add tourpak to my 2015 Street Glide. I found one on craigslist and he says the color is Cobalt blue (off a 2007). My street glide is superior blue, they look really close.

I tried searching the web and nothing came up.

Thanks,
Dave

Welcome.
Big difference in the colors. Looks like Cobalt Blue has a purplish hue:

Oh yeah...took me 30 seconds on Google to find this...just saying.

Just went through the same thing. My bike is Fire Red Pearl, tourpak was Lava Red, looked pretty close in the photo but I wasn't able to check it out side by side, so I passed.

Can you compare side by side?

If the price is right you can have it repainted to match

I had a 2006 Street Glide in cobalt blue. It looks like the color of the NY Giants helmet. That's the best way for me to come up with a comparison for you.

That cobalt blue pearl in the chart is not the same as the cobalt blue that I had.
