This is often a difficult call, but I'd be tempted to agree with you: left is metallic green, right is metallic blue.

Both look metallic blue to me, one darker than the other. J

Hello Mike, to me they are both Metalic Blue just one is a bit Darker than the other. The Superfast 53a is Metalic Green. Here are my two 53c models as you can see one is a bit darker Blue, these are not in my collection for the colour but for a casting variation.

Then I show the 53c Blue against the 53a Superfast model for comparison colours.

Looking at these two even the Plastic interiors looks like two different colours, I think colours (Shade) will always be a debateable point, as we all have different monitors to look at. :) :)

Mike,
I posted similiar pics on the old site. Interesting to note as well that the two boxes I have show slightly different colored cars as well.

Please use a web hosting site (like photobucket) to store pictures so you can post them here, using attachments makes it hard to view the pictures when you have to scroll to see them. Seeing comparisons of models is hard to see with attachments too.
