Can somone let me know if this is petrol blue in the picture from the gallery, or is it mauritius blue but it looks to light for that!

Pictures can be misleading so it is always better to see the colors in person. . .

Personally, I prefer the deep sea blue!!

... The car that was photographed was Petrol Blue PE. But the released photos have ended up so heavily Photoshopped (as a result of the weather on the shooting day) the color of most of the blue car PR shots looks to be somewhere between Petrol Blue PE and Mauritus Blue PE (Ocean Blue PE in The States). There a re a few where it's pretty representative of the real thing. Need to mention that Petrol Blue PS is a lot like Nogaro Blue PE (on of the B5 S4 launch colors) in that it has proven to be very difficult to shoot and look right without post-processing tweaking.

The restrained lunatic is correct, Petrol Blue PE is closer to a teal than a pure blue when you see it in person.

I love the colour in the link below, and just wanted to check how confident you are that it is Sahara Silver (which seems a little lighter in the Configurators). I always trust your statements, and yet I know how tricky colours can be when reproduced...

Thank you in advance.

Cheers,
Matt.
