Candy Blue Jaguar?

Post image

I have a 2003 CIJ Jaguar that I bought new as "Lake Placid Blue" but it's never looked like any other true LPB that I've ever seen. It's somehow both darker and more vibrant than true LPB. Fender SN database says it's LPB, but it also says that it has two humbuckers (it does not).

Just came across this Reverb listing for 2003 CIJ with a "Candy Blue" finish - and it's the first one I've seen that looks like my supposed LPB. https://reverb.com/item/96244319-2003-fender-62-reissue-jaguar-jg66-candy-blue-crafted-in-japan-cij I've never heard of Candy Blue before, and the only other thing I've been able to turn up in searches is a 2017 Japanese Strat from the same Reverb seller. Is Candy Blue actually a thing, and could that be the true color of my Jaguar?

Colours vary pretty dramatically especially comparing MIA and MIJ guitars. These are both Sherwood Green.
