Is Voltex blue and Blue pearl sensation the same color?

I have a 2011 Vortex blue fit and I am going to order a full mugen kit for it. I looked at bernardi honda and they only have it for a blue sensation color. I've searched the site and I have had 2 conflicting answers. Some say its the same just changed the name and some say the voltex has a deeper purple shade to it. I want to be 100% positively sure before I order it. I dont want two different shades of blue. Thanks in advance for your help.

It will not be exactly the same, although sometimes Honda changes the color name when there are VERY minor changes in the color(different amount of metalic etc) So unfortunately plan on painting it at which point i would try to find a good condition used or buy white.

Ok thanks. I will probably plan on just buying it unpainted. I wonder if they will eventually have the voltex blue color later on.

Be warned, even if you buy it unpainted, and decide to get it paint, it WILL NOT MATCH your car's color. There is no such thing as 'Honda Paint' that you can go buy by the bucket...

Any place that paints your body kits etc will go by color code, and the shade of blue will be near identical, BUT if you look under the sun you will definitely see differences in the way it reflects light. The amount of metallic particles, density of particles etc will not match.

If you are anal like me, you will notice this, and it will bother you forever. Hopefully you do not notice such things.

Yea I am pretty anal about my car. I am hoping they will come out with the vortex blue from the dealer but if not then I might get the black and go two tone theme but when that gets old I would have to get it repainted so I am kind of stuck right now.
