Well, yeah Greg ;-), but not the French Blue used on Triumphs. As Chad
suggested, Triumph's French Blue is more like a Wedgwood color, perhaps
with a bit more grey or black mixed in.
If you can, look at: <http://www.vtr.org/maintain/paint-charts/dupont2.jpg>.
To me, the whole chart looks a shade or two too dark on my monitor, but
you'll get a rough idea of French blue from that.
