The Monte Carlo pics in the official thread are a good representation of the in-person hue, but it's a bit less saturated than the pics suggest. It looks very good on an M5, and I think it's definitely a better blue than Imperial given the character of the car -- unless you want a total stealth sleeper. However, it's still a little light for my taste, which is why I'd go Tanzanite myself through Individual (check it out on the 6 Series); I love the deep midnight color with the turquoise flecks since it makes the car look stately but still suggests there's still something special there. Or maybe even Le Mans for a darker than Monte Carlo but still sporty blue. Deep Sea also looks fantastic and I'm actually surprised it's not a standard choice, but I wouldn't get it if I had to go Individual.

I'm a blue person too if you couldn't tell.
