I’d be happy if Toyota used the new Portimao Blue bmw used on the new 3series

Id like that too. Looks a lot better than the blue seen on the prototype.

Agreed. The Mediterranean blue is so dark and boring, I personally don’t think it has any place being on a sports car.

Anyone know how often bmw offers new colors for the life cycle of their models? Do they tend to stick with the same colors from the first year until the end, or do they start offering new colors yaet by year?

I believe they usually will add/change colors during the mid-cycle refresh(LCI as bmw calls it) but I can't be 100% certain.

Yes, true. They usually add a few new colors and sometimes discontinue some as well. Really all depends. You can always custom order the individual paints that aren’t on a particular model but that costs extra of course.

This may be a good indication as to how the A90 may look in the presumed Atacama Yellow seen at Jarama

Colour list for the Supra from the leaked parts thread:

Grau metallic matt (Matte Grey Metallic)
mediterran-blau metallic (Mediterranean Blue Metallic)
atacama-gelb (Atacama Yellow)
karmesin-rot (Karmesin Red)
glacier-silber metallic (Glacier Silver Metallic)
black-sapphire metallic (Black Sapphire Metallic)
mineral-weiss metallic (Mineral White Metallic)
blue-stone metallic (Blue Stone Metallic),

Of course not all of the colours will likely be available on all versions of the car.

Blue Stone Metallic looks very promising, it should give the car a sophisticated touch:
Edit: doesn't seem so blue in other photos though, just another boring grey.

Looks like I’ll be wrapping or biting the bullet and full respray right off the get go

Was really hoping for something similar to 1A1

I’m hoping for a blue like rsp or Lexus LFA Blue pearl. I won’t buy until then.

i think the Mediterranean Blue Metallic would look best with a gunmetal or bronze wheels.
but i wish was a bit brighter like the Porsche 911 Sapphire Blue Metallic which is perfect!

Nothing we don't know abt. Maybe the shocker is the geneva reveal and gtr competitor claim.

Found this and thought it was a nice visualization of the color selection
1. Blue Stone Metallic
2. Mineral White Metallic
3. Black Sapphire Metallic
4. Glacier Silver Metallic
5. Karmesin Red
6. Atacama Yellow
7. Matte Grey Metallic
8. Mediterranean Blue Metallic

Mineral White will always be my go-to. But man, Atacama Yellow and Matte Grey Metalic are going to look sick on this car.

Both Matte Grey Metallic/Frozen grey and Mineral White Metallic are my go-to's, but I wonder if a color like Hockenheim Silver can be a possible option in cases of special orders considering that the car will be produced in a BMW factory in Austria...I think it would look amazing!
