I agree that it does seem to be that lighter colour, just bad lighting in the top pic...
But I reckon that top pic looks like the OEM Mazda 323 dark blue colour:
"Deep Ocean Blue Metallic" (so the website calls it)

"Midnight Blue Mica" (what I've heard it called more often...)
This is my favourite example from the Astina GT Forums:

That guy's kinda like the AstinaGT forum's equivalent to Mooneggs... only a little less tasteful haha
(Its not the best pic, but I CBF looking for better ones... here's his WL: http://www.astinagt.com/forums/showthre ... 99&page=49 )

the WL link doesn't work, i think you copied a shortend forum version

Here's cardomain of the owner http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2587485/1992-mazda-mx-3

My apologies, Evo_Spec, I pressed back in my browser to include the WL link, but it double posted, instead of editing, so I copied the extra bit from my post & edited the original!
I've updated the link it the post above.

NICE!!!
