    Blue paint colour suggestion

    I'm in the middle of a resto and I need a paint colour. All I know is I want blue and have preference to a darker blue. I had a mauritius blue touring which is what I tried to match the colour below to but it turned out totally different but I like it all the same. I've no idea how close to any shade of blue this is as it's a photoshop but here's what I'm more or less after

    Mauritius, Avus, and Interlagos are basically your options. IMHO Mauritius is the best on an e30. My dad has an Interlagos e46 and my friend is building an Avus e30, so I'm not way too biased.
    The first car I ever rode in was an e30

      I've been thinking of Interlagos blue but I need to see it in person. What colour is your cabby?

            Looks good in your sig image! My old touring was mauritius which is why I might go with something else, saying that if I find nothing else mauritius is what it will be.

            I tried some midnight blue on a test panel and it came out green-ish, which can't be right. The only reason I ever tried it was because of these pics:




            My sample looked way different! From looking at BMW colour codes there's 2 midnight blues as well, I may have got a different one?

            I just found this, it's close to the above photoshop (I think):




            Maybe slightly darker?
