BMW has an awesome color blue that I don’t know the name of. It was on some of the mid 90s cars. It’s pretty dark and almost a shade of purple in the right light. It has a touch of metallic in the paint too. It reminds me of Chevy Radar Blue (which I also like a lot) but without the harsh color shifting. ---

> [@RedLineGSR94](#): > > x100000000000 > > that is such a awesome color it is. hey whitey, check out a few different pics of that color. the smallest changes in light/camera angles make the color shift quite a bit from dar to light blue. ---
