Artist’s paints are ailable in cobalt green and cobalt yellow:

I’ve always associated cobalt with pink - after cobalt chloride, the hydrous one.
So, I should think of a grey-ish pink? Yuck.
Hey, what’s Cobalt color?
–An elephant in a blender.
See, kids, it’s funny, because elephants are pink on the inside. And cobalt is grey, unless it’s the hydrous one… well, there are a couple of diff-- hey, you kids get back here…
Nonetheless, the color most strongly associated with “cobalt” is probably cobalt blue, which that article claims was first CALLED that in the 18th century, although cobalt compounds were used to impart a very pretty blue color to ceramics and glass for many centuries before then.
A Sienna in any color other than brown is probably even more wrong. The Cobalt can be assumed to have been named for the element. Sienna has to be named for the color or or the clay, unless it is a very obscure reference, or Toyota didn’t bother to check that the city in Italy is spelled with one n.
And that’s just the way I like it.
Not weird, they are just mistaken about the color it originally was.
The Man In Black…
Maybe your sister likes the new blue color better.
Have you asked her?
If she called the insurance rep and complained about the repair, that should have been the end of it. Granted, it’s the other guys insurance, but they have the power to NOT PAY the body shop for the repairs if they are wrong. If they refuse, then, yeah, she should absolutely contact the state Dept of Insurance.
In my experience having worked at two different ones, insurance companies jump when the DOI comes a’knocking.
It’s my sisters car, and she decided its not worth the time going after it. But 5 different people all say the car is a different color. Sure, we all could be wrong. But one of them asked if my sister had the car painted, without knowing what had happened. No power of suggestion on that one.
