Well, what would Peeron cal the light blue in this set:
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/5842 (the rounded bricks in the back)
I think the colors Peeron uses are not 100% accurate, or up-to-date. There
are these shades of blue:
Blue (found everywhere)
Sand Blue (found in LOM sets)
Medium Blue (found in racer sets, example - http://guide.lugnet.com/set/4579 )
Light Blue (found in Belville sets)
Marsek Blue (found in Marsek sets and a few Duplo sets)
Auqua (found in Belville sets)
The 'sand blue' is only in the LOM sets - the color there is NOT medium
blue. The sand blue is darker than medium blue, and much darker than light blue.
I have all these colors here, and will add them to my Color Compare page on
Brickshelf (currently they are already there, but not in one picture - but
that will be fixed asap).
But you can easily see from this picture:

That sand blue is MUCH darker than thnmedium blue - and is nowhere close to
being light blue. Peeron is just wayyy off if they are calling sand blue
light blue....
The HP car is almost without a doubt made in medium blue, like in the racer
sets.
The true Light blue can only be found in 2 sets, and both of them are
belville sets, and both of them are new this year.
