Default Patriots Blue

My wife has friend at church who is a huge Patriots fan. She grew up in New England and it's in her blood I guess. I want to paint her a Tom Brady figure but the blue has me totally confused. I've looked at many photos and it seems different in certain photos. Maybe it's the flash? The way the sun is hitting on Brady when the photo was taken? I don't know. What I do know is that the shade of blue for the Patriots has me confused.

Can one of you Patriots fans out there tell me another team that the Patriots blue jersey's compare too? Is it like the blue on the Broncos? Cowboys dark jersey? Rams? Any help would be appreciated. I ONLY USE TESTORS paints so if you have a certain TESTORS color that would be great too.

Why don't you just get off the rocker and let me paint it for you with Beals paint? It matches, It's Acrylic, and best of all......You won't have to use the Acrylic.
Otherwise, try mixing Aluminum with Blue

Default Colors

I LOVE Beals paints when I don't have to use them. When others paint me teams with his paints I love the outcome of them. Those colors are right on the mark. I am very picky when it comes to paint. If it doesn't cover in one coat I don't use it. I guess it's the Jersey boy in me. FAST AND NOW!! I want it fast, I want it now!! If anyone used Beals blue to paint the Pats jerseys can you post a photo? I can match any color with testors paint I just don't know what color the Pats use!

Here's what I'm talking about. Look at these two photos of Brady. Those jersey's look different colors to me. Am I losing it? Which one is right?

im no expert, but the first photo appears to be in natural daylight, with overcast ski, the 2nd photo seems to be late afternoon/early evening with lights ON in the stadium. they may be the same color jersies.

Default Thanks

Thanks Bryan. Make sure Tom Ruesink doesn't see this post because I'm sure he knows the EXACT shade of this blue. LOL!! Inside joke. I will work on mixing the color. I will need it anyway because a kid in the local league ordered the Broncos. YUK!
