(E90) Official Mystic Blue E90 Thread

bluemagic · 02-11-2006, 04:01 AM

I realy like mystic with black interior but I think the grey interior also looks very sporty. I dont like the beige at all.

tell me about it dude, when I ordered my car I thought xenons were not a big deal. a month later i wanted to chop my balls off, called the dealer to see if they could get them installed after I got the car and they said it was like 2500 and it might have been for only one side.
I think my best bet now is to wait for aftermarket xenons with clear corners... that would be the best

Is it just me or is the Mystic Blue a bit "Blue-Grey"...? It has a strange undertone to it that I can't seem to put my finger on. I still like it, though. It's one of my top two choices along with the other "MB".

vladinecko · 02-13-2006, 03:42 PM

i've added quite of few pics of my MB here.

No, not even a hint of grey. Have you seen it in person?

Yes, I did see the Mystic in person at the dealership (outside) and from the photos I've seen, I absolutely LOVE the colour

!

I guess what I'm saying is that I look at pictures in direct sunlight (like the side view attached to this post) and it makes me want to drool

but from what I remember from seeing it in person was that it really looked closer to the rear bumper shot attached. I can't quite put my finger on the colour but it's not "pure" blue, or "royal" blue... I suppose "Mystic" is a pretty good descriptor for it

If you were to try to describe the colour to someone else, how would you describe the type of blue to them?

I did a little experiment in photoshop and brough in a couple of photos of the car onto the screen and used the standard ps pallet with their basic descriptions of colours and the closest colour I could match to the overall colour of the car was "dark cyan blue". I "painted" a swatch of dark cyan blue under each of the pictures to show what I mean.

Does this look close?

Thank you.

PS. It probably says somewhere about how to have photos appear within your text but I haven't figured it out yet so attachments will have to do. Also, my apologies for photoshopping other people's photos...

bro, I just moved down to TN from long island, I lived there 4 yrs. I just graduated from NYIT. What about you?

thd13 · 02-16-2006, 08:19 PM

My car has no greyish hue in it. Maybe if it is covered in salt like it is now, but without salt on it, it is either darker blue or a light blue.

I literally live 1/2 mile from nyit. I go to Stony Brook. I love it around here but the traffic
is getting ridiculous.

Hmmm....it reminds me of the color of the deeper ocean water I have seen in Fiji or off the beach in Honolulu. Does that help?

parachute · 02-16-2006, 10:48 PM

that's awesome bro, whats your girlfriends name? maybe I know her

BTW i agree with you 100%. This color has to be
seen in person. It's much nicer and better
looking in person than it does in the pics for some
reason. It's a really nice blue. I dont know if it was
the car or the color but it was getting a lot of stares.
I'll post some pics tomorrow in the sun.

mystic w/ black

02-18-2006, 01:37 PM

Nice car and nice house.Those wheels are so classy.

wyrm11 · 02-18-2006, 04:10 PM

That looks REALLY nice. I've been thinking about the mystic/black combo myself, though being in CA I don't know if it'll be too hot. I'll probably end up going with grey. Which oddly enough is what your interior kinda looks like in your pics.

parachute · 02-18-2006, 05:15 PM

Can you believe I left it outside the first night I got it, and it snowed! It never snows here in TN!!!!!!! I'll take more pics when I wash it and on a sunny day
