Looks very nice Mikael. That shade of blue is beautiful on a fixed head Elan. I'll risk some flames by saying I think the Elan FHC is better looking than the good looking Lotus fixed head that proceeded it.

(I'll risk some extra flames as I agree with Brad B!) :D

The French blue is a more full/darker blue. I made a Europa some year ago and on that the French blue was nice but I prefer Wedgewood on the Elan.
