BLNR blue
What is your favorite shade of blue on a Rolex watch? The blue on the BLNR is amazing in all types of lighting. BLNR gets my vote!

The BLNR blue is too vibrant for me, but looks nice when not in bright lights.

My fav is 116509BLSO

BLNR blue is beautiful as is the blue on the WG Submariner bezel.

Also really like the blue used on the second hand of the slate dial YM.

No. Both are "bright blue" per Rolex website.
