About product

French Racing Blue

The national racing blue of France from the numbered Number Five palette. The brand carries it as the classic shade that French teams used for most of the twentieth century, that is not as the color of one car but as the color of a whole motoring tradition.

The history behind this tone

Before racing cars were covered with advertising, their background was recognized by a national color: Italy ran in red, Britain in green, Germany in white and later silver, and France in blue. Under this blue ran the prewar cars of Bugatti, Delage and Talbot, after the war names such as Matra or Alpine followed on from it, and French projects like to return to it to this day. The shade has a deeper and calmer character than the bright sponsor blues of the later decades.

What the national blue suits

  • prewar French racing and record cars
  • postwar sports prototypes and rally specials
  • cars built to the state before the arrival of advertising liveries
  • collector runs put together according to the national colors

Who the color is suitable for

For modelers of historic racing cars who want a national color matching the tradition, and for collectors who put a display case together by country. It suits as well where there is no advertising on a car and the color of the body carries the whole expression of the model.

Storage: store in a dry place, well closed, out of the reach of children.
