LOL yep, quite blue. Nevada has more special license plates than any state i know of, and one of them is the vintage ~1980 plates with the blue and white. I thought it would be kind of cool. In fact, the white letters on the background are spectacular in their contrast, and I'm so thrilled because it shows how much I love corgis! I was amazed that I even got the plate. It so happens that I got Corgi2 for my motorcycle, too!
