Anyone have pics of deep sea blue?
Or can you direct me to a photo that is the closest to what this color looks like in real life? There are so many different shots of it that I can't tell. TIA.

Oooh...it looks much better in those photos, but what color really looks bad under those lights? Okay, this looks like the M sport...and it's not carbon black, right? Obviously, it doesn't look black, but I can't find a photo that really shows that color either!

The color is going to look slightly different depending on sunny vs cloudy day, the type and amount of overhead lighting (when inside), flash or no flash, etc. I ordered the deep sea blue/oyster for my 35i. Still waiting for it to enter production. |

If you do a quick search there should be a thread for the color. I had one for the day as a test drive a couple weeks ago and snapped a few shots that Jason added to the photo thread.
The indoor color is a deeper darker blue than the outdoor color. Outside in sun it becomes quite bright blue.

I liked it indoors. It was a bit lighter/brighter than I liked outdoors. But it was by no means unattractive. It's a nice shade of blue.

I've changed my color selection twice now. I started with Mineral Silver, then changed to Sea Blue when MSport came out. Then I saw the Carbon Black pictures. To me it's a deep dark blue. Very nice. Carbon Black is now my selection.
btw, I've had two black cars previously and originally wanted something lighter. I guess Carbon Black has swayed me back to the dark side! |

We both wished deep sea blue was just a tad darker though. Our local dealer had a monaco blue/saddle brown X6 that was stunning in person. I don't think the pictures in this thread above are an accurate reflection of how it looks in general. The pics in the actual color thread I linked are more accurate. |

Yep, that DSB/Oyster combo has to look amazing. Well, it does in the video from the LA times. I'm not really in love with any of the colors either and I suspect that's what has been holding me up the most. I sometimes just don't feel in love with the car. I'm usually not indecisive with cars/colors and this has driven me crazy...to the point that I am still strongly considering a Q5. I'm trying to see the blue in as many photos as possible and trying to locate one at a dealership here in CO.

I loved this Deep Blue Sea when i saw it at first in this pictures from Geneva Motor Show, but in day light this is much more blue, not such dark blue.
Carbon looks almost like this DBS from Geneva in sunlight, so I've ordered Carbon Black. |

Look at this X5, http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=510423
When the weather is rainy DBS looks awesome to me, but in sunshine it is too bright... |
