Which "blue" looks good on the x6?

Has any one of you out there seen a monacco blue x6? Can't decide if I should go for the deep sea blue or the monacco blue.

I have seen the Deep Sea Blue in person and it is very nice. I agree, the Monaco Blue is just too flat, without being black. The Deep Sea Blue is a Metal Flake paint.

I hope you talk about colors you saw personally in real life. Not on computer screens.

Thank you all for your suggestions. I have finally decided on the Space Grey, but wondering if I should be more traditional like going for the black interior or something a bit brighter like chateau?

Deep Sea Blue is much better. I saw them both at the plant when a took a tour several months ago.

Azurite Black Metallic is part of the individual exterior color option. It's actually a black color with different blue hues depending on the angle of light reflection.
If you park the car in the shade, it looks black. You bring it out into the sunshine and you get all kinds of different blueish color reflections, it looks amazing.

Here is a description on that color:

The nuances of Azurite under the elegant, deep black surface create a rare interplay of colors, changing from cobalt blue to dark indigo and ultramarine. The scintillating glitter effect and extraordinary brilliance of this paint finish are due to the use of Xirallic®, a special pigmentation that enhances the uniqueness of this exterior color.
