Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | On my 'birds, the basecoat looks between a baby blue and slate gray. One metalflake is blue but there is an equal amount of yellow/gold. Yellow and blue do indeed make my guitars an aqua or greenish color in many lights. Here is a closeup of the Bluebird 6 that I have.
