Acapulco blue or Sea Blue?

I went to have a look at a cracking looking Sea Blue Kombi down here in Cornwall. Well it was listed as Sea Blue and I see that Sea Blue as a colour exists but it looks very close to Acapulco Blue to me. Maybe I'm getting a bit colour blind in my old age! Luckily this one is now listed as 'deposit taken' before I could be tempted to part with my 20 year old one-owner T5. The high spec including twin doors, 36k miles, DSG and even a removable tow bar was exactly for me. :cool: But the 34.5k price tag including VAT killed it a bit . Can anyone else tell the difference between the two blues? :)

That's a tidy van, but I wonder if it was priced with 'Cornwall tax'? Many things often seem overpriced down our way.
I have an Acapulco Blue van, and it looks like Acapulco Blue to me. I can't seem to find Sea Blue as an optional colour for the T6, only the classic VW colour.
 
Thanks for your replies both QF and WFR. :) I think they must have just got the colour wrong. I've always driven past that place over the years and seen that old jet plane suspended. They used to be Castle Air and (if you are old enough to remember Anika Rice in Treasure Hunt) they hired the helicopter for that show. They have only top end cars. Full of Lotus/Aston Martin etc. My wife took a shocking shine to a Audi TT with 33k on! I found them refreshingly non-intrusive and helpful, and the van was very well presented indeed. They did make another minor mistake in describing the van as having tow bar prep. Actually it had a (removable) tow bar complete with the tow ball in its bag under the seat but my sneaky pic of the PR sticker revealed that there was no original tow bar prep so you are at the mercy of the quality of the fitter used at the time.

I'm not really up with T6 prices but apart from a second captain's seat and the dreaded VAT it really worked for me. If anyone happens to be ordering such a thing new about now, think of me in about two or three year's time if you are thinking of selling it! I wonder who bought that one? :)
