Revival of early p6 colours ?

[clive P62]

Have you noticed new car manufacturers seem to be going back to classic car colours.
The Citroen c3 looks a lot like Wedgwood blue / or pretty close to me.

I'd noticed 70's colours having a bit of a revival of late recently as well. Quite a few manufacturers have brown options these days, although metallic instead of solid colours.

Ford used to do a similar colour to Wedgewood in the 1980's - I had a D reg 1.4 one, the same colour as this:

I can't remember what the colour was called.

I am pretty sure Ford called that Wedgewood Blue.

Possibly, but I thought Ford Wedgewood Blue was this darker colour:

Unless, of course, they made it darker and kept the same name.

Update - It looks like Ford called it Ceramic Blue:

No, I bought my wife a brand new Ford Fiesta Pop Plus in 1983 and it was in Wedgewood Blue which was a very light colour.
