We have to add Orange too cuz Tex posted pics of his and we voted on it.

Woohoo, Rite on. .

I agree with this disagreement.

Well played, but I also have a black BMW. But I just don't see how BMW has any iconic color....

M cars are white and blue normally, it's just the colors of their headline models

I've been on the BMW forums for the past 9 years, and I've never seen anyone there say any such thing about "true" BMW colors.

There have been a couple blues that were the "featured" color for a particular M car, but I can only recall one M car where all the introductory press photos were white (and it just happens to be the latest). Of the recent ones:

G80 M3 CS: Frozen Brilliant White
G87 M2: Zandvoort Blue
G82 M4 CSL: Frozen Brooklyn Grey
G82 M4: Sao Paulo Yellow
G80 M3: Isle of Man Green
F87 M2 Comp: Hockenheim Silver
F90 M5 CS: Frozen Deep Green
F87 M2: Long Beach Blue
F90 M5: Frozen Dark Red

i like it when colors have a cool name.

These get points for coolness. IMO

Fair, most every one I have seen IRL has been blue/white/black though so I guess it has just stuck with me that M=Blue BMW with some white ones mixed in.

Then you'll probably love my Grigio Telesto Pearl Metallic. Though I think the coolest color name I've found in the BMW catalog is Malachite, which is a very dark emerald green.

That's a hard one to pronounce but looks like a cool name.

Actually I'd butcher it trying to pronounce it. Lol

Lexus has a Matador Red, and oh man is it Red and plus has a cool name.

That one might sit a little while if trying to private sale, I skipped over it.

Looks good but not a daily color for me, shade is wrong for an RX350. IMO

Then there is the Lexus Black Onyx. Looks like it has a little metallic in it. Most of the ones I looked at were heavily swirled or chipped and peeling clear coat or they were sold so FAST I had no chance to look at it.

i really wanted the Black Onyx but having a change of heart on getting another black car, been there and done that.

Yes, the Lexus Matador Red is beautiful, but even it pales in comparison to the premium-red that Mazda offers. Even the images don't do it justice....you have to see it in person.

I agree Mazda's Soul Red Metallic ($595) is a great color and looks really nice on the CX-5.

LexBob2

Mazda introduced a new color on the CX-90. It's called Artesian Red ($595). From what I've read it's kind of polarizing, but I like it on the new SUV.

mmarshall

Looks like it might actually be the same paint as the Soul Red.....just with a different name. Even costs the same ($595)

LexBob2

In some of the pictures and videos it looks darker in different lighting. It has a dark cherry appearance in this picture.
