That's the color I was aiming for. I have always like the blue that Fuji uses. Rustolium Cobalt Blue Metallic is pretty close. The standard color for the S12-S LTD was black. The bike had been badly rattle canned before, so I didn't feel bad about stripping and repainting a different color.

Some very nice blue bikes here. I've posted these before...
Trek 710, 1982
This is a repaint and it no longer has the front rack or bags.
1986 Vitus
Mostly all Tri-Color.
I think this is a 1983 Nishiki Cervino.
and new to me this year NOS 1995-2000 RRB sourced Tange Champion 2 frame I'm building up.

May have posted this before but how about this two-fer? The Bruce Gordon is mine and the De Rosa is a fellow local rider. It’s a pretty nice bike with all the fancy crank elements!

Do we need another blue bike? Of course we do! (In any case, what's need got to do with it?)

@Chuckk, what's the rationale behind that unusual geometry in the first example?

Moderators, is it possible to add "For the month of May:" to the beginning of the thread title? We might catch more people if they know the thread is part of the monthly series. Thanks.

It's helpful on one of these requests if you type out the entire title as you want it to avoid multiple edit cycles.

@unterhausen, I just exposed myself as a programmer with a habit of using the fewest words possible. Not the best habit in many situations but you got it right this time. I'll bear in mind your tip. And thank you.

Is there a “His and Hers” thread?
Looks black but really deep deep blue on the CF
I originally wanted the Vent Noir but this one felt just right when I was test riding them in 1982
25th anniversary re-issue Stumpjumper
New to me ‘74 GC - words fail

Not only does it fit the criteria of blue but it’s fits the height requirements as well (actually 2” short). We don’t own this one anymore.
DSCN0573 by Stuart Black, on Flickr
It was replaced with a less vintage tiny bike. 650C wheels and tipping the scales at 20 lb...even with a rack! On the plus side, it’s a bit less squirrely than the other Terry.
Equally less vintage but still tiny.
And, for the vintage crowd. Although this one wasn’t vintage when this picture was taken...1985
It also no longer exists. It died a mountain bike death...breaking in battle as all mountain bikes should...and now enjoys being ridden in Valhalla.
