Can anyone tell me or show me how the blue in the Yachtmaster 116622 compares to the blue in the current datefust?

Are they the same?

If not, how do they differ? I have seen the Yatchmaster in person and it is very radiant and sunburst. Online the Datejust looks the same but I cant tell w/o seeing it in person and no AD has one.

Thankyou in advance.

Good question. Seems to me that the yacht has a deeper almost purplish blue. I believe the dj has a more vibrant tone as well

The Datejust and Sky Dweller have a different blue sunburst tone than the YM.
The marketing materials for the blue DJ dial reads differently than anything for the YM.
Rolex is rather proud of whatever the process to create the DJ’s specific blue.

The YM and DD blue are more similar in person IMHO.
