That color is AMAZING! I've never seen one here in the States that color...

Have you tried looking it up on paintref.com?
Paint Chips 2006 Volkswagen Beetle

^ thats their 2006 VW paint code page


Looks close to Aquarius Blue, but darker... maybe Antibes Blue Metallic?

Thumbs up Killer Color!

By the chips, LC6S, Apassionata Blue Pearl, as I'm seeing it. Not a NA Market color, but quite possibly a Euro or Italian Market one. Beautiful color.

Check for the Paint Code on the mini build label, possibly found in the spare tire well of your NB or in your Owner's Manual. Can always have a Dealer run the VIN to get the paint code, and then compare that number to those shown on the chart.

Finally I found an answer!
This colour is called WAIMEA BLUE (x3), it belong to the group of pearled color and it was available in european market in 2006-2007.

Some people told me that, in the States market, it was called HAWAII BLUE, but they were'nt so sure.

Thank's to all for the help (and the compliments)!

It's a very rare colour in Europe too. In Italy this colour was available only for year 2007 and I've already see it but only in photo.
I bought it in Germany and tomorrow morning it is going to come to me! I'm so excited!
It's my second Beetle, the first was a NBC limited red edition, do you know this edition? Does it available in the States?

I'll make a lot of photo of my bug for us, I promise!
