When I say "dark" or "darker", I'm referring to the photo in the very first post. That particular photo of LBB doesn't, in my limited experience with the color, represent it faithfully and is too "light" in tone and depth. So, you are correct. LBB is not dark in the broader context. It is, in fact, a lighter blue. It is, however, darker than the very light teal in the first post even in bright sunlight, IMO.

In any event, yes, this is a complex color Yes, it is a brighter blue The photos in post #43, #44 and below are all pretty similar (inside and outside shots) but the OP's picture is very different and, IMO, not attractive. This is the picture I am referring to and it is in direct sun and, IMO, represents what my eyes were looking at...

Any pics that don't have a shade of teal/green are inaccurate. My pics were taken in slightly overcast lighting, and appeared accurate to me after reviewing them while still looking at the actual car. A paint sample is not a good way to determine how color will look on a car (or anything) especially a picture of the paint sample.

A couple of comments. I confirmed with a local X5M owner that his LBB vehicle looks the same as the picture above. He says it is a very close representation of the actual color. That picture looks, more or less, the same as the sample I had in my hand. Although the sample won't tell you how the colour will look at an entire car, it does give a sense of tone, depth, color, etc. The only reason this is even a relevant discussion for some (me) is that I will need to pick a color before I see the car in person as I will have the first one in my city. That's both a blessing and a curse

Well, EBII vs. LBB is not difficult to see the difference. If anyone can put Atlantis Blue next to LBB, that I'd like to see.

LOL this particular m2 is a popular girl no doubt. I enjoy that she always seems to be parked at the same exact spot with various randoms stopping by to take a peek and snap some pics.
That being said, the pics are appreciated and this comparison is very nice. I personally prefer Estoril.

I repeatedly tried to like LBB, but still to date I can't. Sorry.
To my eyes LBB remains a bit hesitational, ambiguous, as if it can't choose what color it actually wants to be, shifting too hard under different light(ing) conditions. Make it for example red or orange and we get a different story. |

I don't think the pictures in the beginning of the thread are too accurate, the color is not as green hued as they show.
Here are a few shots from my iPhone 6S taken recently in Germany. I think it is definitely in the same family as Atlantis Blue, but LBB is a vivid blue, whereas Atlantis has more of a green thing going on... |
