Why does Carbon Black Metallic sometimes look blue. Can anyone help.

Probably has a high blue content.... My old e91 used to look dark blue / black depending on light

I read on another post that it’s meant to represent carbon copy paper (if your old enough to remember that stuff) which is a very dark inky black/blue.

It’s a great colour, had a 3 series in carbon black. In dull weather it’s pretty much just black but in bright sun the blue metallic particles really shine through me it looks great.

That blue popping through is exactly the reason I chose this color. Great combination together with the blue inserts!
