The DS Lite is adding a cool new Cobalt Blue and Black color scheme to its wardrobe on February 10th, 2008, which is the best day of the year. Nintendo claims that: like a black T-shirt with a splash of color, the new DS Lite Cobalt/Black version of the Nintendo portable grabs your attention.

Cobalt/Black marks the seventh color in the Nintendo DS Lite palette. It joins Polar White, Coral Pink, Onyx Black, Crimson Red and Black and the limited-edition Gold and Metallic Rose, which together sold more than 8.5 million units in America last year alone.

If an online pre-order webpage for the American retailer Circuit City was correct, then a new color Cobalt Blue DS Lite will be released before the end of February 2008. The DS Lite is colored in both cobalt blue and black, similar to the crimson red and black DS Lite.

A Nintendo insider described the “awesome” color as “purplish blue” and says that factory workers just started putting on the new color of clamshells in the last few days. Which means that once packing begins, there’s usually a two week or one month period before they hit store shelves. — Via Kotaku
