My dealer has the color samples for the 2018 X3's now. Here are the samples of the ones I had chosen: Phytonic Blue, Mocha seats, and Dark Oak trim. Funny, but the vertical vs horizontal stitching on the leather actually looked like two different colors when examined by eye. But photo shows they are actually the same, consistent with what dealer said car would have.

I also held the Phytonic Blue sample up against a car on their lot that was Med Blue. The color was a lot closer than what most say they really are--again must have been the bright sunlight. The Med Blue just gets real dark when not directly reflecting back at you and pictures of the Phytonic Blue on the web don't seem to get that midnight blue look.
