Does anyone know what years the 2nd Generation ('95-99) Legacy Outback Wagon was offered in a color I can only describe as "Royal Blue"? This isn't the much more common navy blue, which looks black from any distance, this is almost a cross between dark blue and purple. I've seen several around, and the blue paint has all the factory stickers and badges which leads me to believe it's a factory color, not a repaint.

 

It's got the scoop, so it must be a '97-99 model, but I've seen only a few of these around. I have to admit, the color is really striking.

I have one parked in the driveway, though i thought it was called Sydney blue. Its a 97 OBW Ltd.

Yep. It's one of the most rare factory outback colors. Sydney Blue Pearl.
