If it is lighter than Arctic blue it is a bit of a riddle. These are the available colors in 2011, taken from the 2011 catalogue_

Arctic Blue is a bright blue in practice and the printed catalogue is sometimes misleading. In 2013 i.e. artic blue looked different in the catalogue but still was the same color:

Possibly in earlier years it was referred as cornflower blue until 2009 - this is from the 2009 catalogue:

The 2010 color lineup looked pretty similar, just that instead of cornflower blue there was arctic blue - an identical or very close color:

If our bike ist a 2011 model and it has it's original paint from factory it should be arctic blue.
