I would definitely say it is blue. A steel Blue. It seems very rare.

I was unaware of it when I was searching for my Crossie. I suspect I would still be looking had I known it existed.
I have found one steel blue, (machine Grey) roadster with a stick shift.
2006 and the going price is $19K used. Had I run into this one before I bought mine, I think I would have jumped on it.

Seats are not Cedar so one of my preferences would have to be sacrificed.
But I would have done it as frankly I find it a rather masculine color and would look really biff with my favorite coral pink shirt.
