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.
