Not my picture, but a comparison of recent blues from Dodge:

Indigo blue in back.
Frostbite in center
B5 in front

I think you said your B7 blue was a Lesonal mix, which looks great in the pic. One of the many spray outs I did was Lesonal from the local dealer. It was way too green. The 71 and later B7 was way too red. The paint rep and I both agreed it wasn't even a decent shade of blue!

We worked on the mix for a few days. I had some original panels to get a good match from. The B7 is definitely darker than the B5. I like both. One of my 73’s was B5 with white stripes, beautiful combo.

I voted B7, lighting does make a difference.

That lighting of the B7 in the paint booth is gorgeous.

A friend of mine had a B3 1970 Dart Swinger. I always thought it looked nice. B5 is great, but kinda overdone. Also, another friend's B7 1970 Sport Fury. B5 1969 R/T. Lastly, my Slate Blue 2020 Grand Cherokee.
