Hey guys, new to the forum, picked up a 1979 a couple weeks ago. Have been searching here a lot but one thing I can't figure out is the name or code for the dark blue purple color. I've seen all of the color code charts, etc. But I don't know the name to match it to the code. The one chart broken down by year is from Europe and the colors don't match what we had in the states I guess. Anyone know anything that can help me in the right direction? I found Yamaha drumsets that come in Sapphire Blue that look pretty close, but that's the best I could do lol.
P.S. I have been searching this forum so hard I actually found the build thread for the bike from 3 owners before me dated 7+ years ago - Vroom4. That'll really help me figure out what's done to this thing as I try to get it back to some semblance of glory. It's been sitting for the last two owners, one of them outside.
Apparently the last 3 owners only rode it ~350 miles since Vroom had it.
