What colour is this?

JFB · 06-16-2016, 08:01 AM

It looks like Santorini... A rep (not BMW) told me it was KELLY BLUE... Not sure he's 100% there.

Any help?

al3xander · 06-16-2016, 08:12 AM

It does look like Santorini to me also

Kelley Blue Book Blue

Hard to say since it looks like the contrast has been messed with.

JTO24 · 06-16-2016, 12:53 PM

Agreed it looks like Santorini

JFB · 06-16-2016, 12:56 PM

Does this help?

al3xander · 06-16-2016, 01:20 PM

Just glance at the lower part of the windshield or ask them to open the hood?

DaBean · 06-16-2016, 01:38 PM

Looks blue to me...

The fact you're seeing 490 (which is "Sonderlackierung", or "Special Paint"), helps rule out a Yas Marina Blue car in an adjusted photo. That being said, I'd wager this is indeed Santorini Blue.

A great color on the car - pick that one up!

SpeedandTechM · 06-16-2016, 04:18 PM

It's Kelly Blue. lol

heckyeahbro69 · 06-16-2016, 05:05 PM

I've seen a few kelly blue cars in my day and this is definitely not it.
