In other words it would probably require some development to come up with a metallic version of LSB. That said, for the right amount of money, it might be possible.

It seems to me, though, what might make more sense would be to find a existing metallic medium blue with a mild greenish tint similar to LSB. Have you looked at Atlantis Blue or Long Beach Blue for example? Those may be similar to the look you are after. If not, there are other blues out there, including from any manufacturer, that could perhaps satisfy your tastes.

Also, any color will change in different lighting since, by definition, color is determined by what the eye sees when light bounces off a surface. Different light produces different results.

I'm not really looking to order a car with that color per say, just kind of a thought exercise because I couldn't fall asleep.
