Lightning Blue vs Atlas Blue

[ChuckPeazy]

Hey there, do any of you have a side by side comparison of the 17-18 Gen 2 in Lightning Blue vs the Gen 3 Atlas blue in 2022? I always dreamed of getting a Gen 2 in Lightning Blue but realize that the Gen 3 is better at pretty much everything. Atlas blue seems pretty close to that color.

I believe Atlas is slightly darker. I don’t have a Lightning comparison, but my 22 Atlas was nice. The color looks great in the sun.

Performance Blue is the correct one to have .

I don't have a side by side photo, but here are my 2019 Velocity Blue, and 2022 Atlas Blue side views in good sunlight. I like the color of both, with a slight preference towrds Velocity Blue. It wasn't available in 22, and Atlas wasn't available after 22.

I think the 22 is darker.

Almost have every blue lol, velocity-lighting-performance blue
Atlas looks very close to lightning blue, i honestly can not tell a difference except in sun light atlas does look a bit darker.

But performance blue best blue

The one thing I miss from my Gen 2 is the Lightning Blue.

This is my G3. Atlas blue has some green in it which is what I think makes it darker as you said.

Atlas Blue is the best Raptor color. /thread
