What is name of this color?

silver · 05-08-2010, 02:24 AM

Hi, I saw an e90 (facelift) and the color was between blue and purple, in a shiny day mostly like purple

What is the name of this color? The car did not have M pack so it is not Le Mans blue.

something that looks between blue and purple has to be Monaco Blue metallic. 2011s do not come in this color anymore.
Or depends on your country I guess, as I see you drive 320d not available in America.

Perhaps you saw the same, or may be not

Monaco is more like between dark blue and black.

Montego Blue? Though IMO that's not very purplish. Might have been some rare Individual color too.

taking your smiley as the picture i'd say it looks more yellow with a few black specs in it, might want to get those buffed out though...

I am going to guess Sparkling Graphite, which they don't make anymore? It has a purplish tint in some lighting:

Definitely Montego Blue. When the sun hits mine just right, you'd swear it's purple.

100% Montego, my car looks purple at some angles and Blue at others

Interlagos is the only blue that also looks purple. Montego never looks purple.

07E92TT · 05-08-2010, 08:43 AM

it wasn't Sparkling Graphite if it was a LCI so it MUST have been Montego. I love Montego in certain lighting conditions but sometimes it just looks too purple, which is why I went with Monaco.

Oh oops. Didn't even see he said it was an LCI.
