How sad is it that I bought the Blu-ray of it to watch the chase in HD?

Colour is such a subjective thing. When I first saw mine, it was under cover and looked like a sort of Dolphin grey - took the car out to the sunlight, and saw its true beauty.

Like you Amar, I haven't been able to photograph and capture how it really is yet - some colours just will not photograph well!

Anyway, imagine my delight when I trawl through Youtube and find this clip 31 seconds in with the exact colour on the heavily modded D2! It's only a quick glimpse on the video though

The colour is Aqua Blue BTW.
