I quote Ben, "I've imagined a color that is a light blue/white burst with a pearlescent clear coat over it called Articglo."

That sounds to me a little like he's describing a diamond. Image

But Ben did say...

"I assure you no new blues will be offered for the foreseeable future."

so does this include his Arcticglo?

I think there would be mutiny here at RIC if it was any sort of Blue Boy..A pearlescent BBR would be very cool though,might have to give that one a try one of these days..It most certainly is NOT CheetoGlo,so let's put that one to rest :-) Thanks Ben,it's comfy here under the bus..

Yechh (again) to any more blues for a muy long time. That would be Arcticglo if anything. He also said he "imagined" it which basicaly still leaves this question wide open. Ben's "arghhhhh!" then "I like...Blueboy myself" seem contradictory to me, so don't hold yer breath for another blue, lest you turn blue.

I'm with Scott on a variant of purple but JH made it clear that wasn't going to happen either.
