I'm hoping for a deep, dark, metallic Blue......Admiral or LeMans, I love Night Race Blue but I'm not sure it fits the C8 tbh.
This is a really nice blue, lots of metallic effect.

When I bought my M7 Admiral blue 2017 in October 2016, didn't even consider any other color once I say one in person. Get so many compliments. For the life of me I can't understand why it was discontinued in the c8...
