Daphne Blue/Surf Green/Sonic Blue/Seafoam Green!

Post by hunterjames » Fri Jul 19, 2013 2:37 pm

My girlfriend and I got in an argument on what a better colour is between Daphne Blue, Surf Green, Sonic Blue, and Seafoam Green. My favourite is Daphne Blue, but she says Seafoam Green is the best. It just got me wondering what other peoples opinions on these classic colours. Post your favourite!

I am also in love with Fiesta Red, but we can save that for another thread.

Lake Placid Blue.

Oh and as you mention your girlfriend, mine recently insisted on a LPB strat as her first guitar, I didn't try and talk her out of it.

:P

Your gf is absolutely right - not just saying that because a woman is always right... The best colour out of that pastel blue-green shade group is seafoam followed by surf green, sonic blue and finally Dapne blue. Those first two shades fit a jaguar perfectly. Personally I like Daphne blue but it's a little too saturated and unnatural looking for an every day look. Sonic blue is really nice as well but it's too light and doesn't really work without a tort pickguard.

I dream of a Daphne Blue Stratocaster and a Sonic Blue Jazzmaster on a regular basis. There is just something about those colours on those instruments. Mmmm.

I've been on the fence about what color to paint my latest build.....Esquire partscaster with triple-tapped Reilander pickup and real '59 Tele neck. I had planned to use Surf Green, but I just disvovered Dender's doing a '59 Esquire Custom Shop guitar in the same color. That Jazzmaster in Sonic Blue is great looking though, and that might end up being my second choice.

Sonic Blue for me :)

But I think Ocean Turquoise is equally hot.

I used to think Surf Green was best, but hard to argue against Foam Green.
