I am looking forward to seeing this color in person. My initial thoughts are this may be the best of the 4 new color schemes, at least to my eyes.

I like it, I think it'll be a chameleon taking on a bunch of different colors depending on lighting. I can't wait to see it in person!

The color itself doesn't change but, like all metallics, the flake goes from nearly invisible in subdued light to vibrant in direct sunlight.
