In the AZ black picture thread some of those look really blue.
Imperial Blue A89 Brilliant Effect, is color glossy pigment Xirallic, is the Third generation of BMW colors, but only adding shine, but not much.
Azurite Black's S34 case if different has more layers of paint, but double or triple scales, also contains Xirallic, but looks more reflective because of those extra layers of more, because it is a color Individual.
The 2 are incredible, but I recommend if you want to pay extra for a color Single purchase is unique Azurite Black, imperial Blue is also very good.
Code paints example:
First Generation 475 Black Sapphire three numbers
Second Generation A52 Space Gray letter A + two numbers 52
Third Generation A89 Imperial Blue letter A + two numbers 89 + Brilliant effect
Quarter Generation B38 Midnight Blue letter B + two numbers 38
Fifth Generation B90 Sophisto/Dark Graphite 2 letter B + two numbers 90 Bri Ect
Individual Azurite Black letter S much layers and layers + two numbers 34
This I have studied nearly 2 years.!
thanks to that I am already on the subject.
The practice makes you master!!
It was hard but I succeeded.
Only fans will know this.
