(Medium Sapphire Blue Firemist : Cadillac : 1987 - 1993)
This blue automotive paint color is most commonly known as Medium Sapphire Blue Firemist. The color formulation has been used between 1987 and 1993, primarily by Cadillac; but also by GM, Oldsmobile and Buick. We have records of this color appearing on the following models: Brougham, Seville, and Eldorado. See the full detailed list below. Firemist was a name given to a group of metallic paints which primarily appeared on the Cadillac but also the Buick and Oldsmobile starting in 1964.

Dupont codes starting with a letter and ending in a 4 digit number were assigned to most new and existing paints staring in 1980 to the present. Sometimes these codes had an additional letter added to the end to differentiate finish or location. These codes are a good way to track page usage between models and years.
