This one doesn't look at all like the OP's pics. This one I sort of like.

So Atlantis Blue vs. Atlantic Blue all over again?

Macaoblau is #250 and people on the Internet call it either Macau Blue or Macao Blue.

I think that the lighting conditions are very important to capture this color in a proper way.
But I really like it

Nice car but, not for 5k. Looks gray to me. Not worth it if you have to really focus to distinguish the uniqueness of the color.

Wow! From the original pics I wanted this color. Now it almost just looks like my car. I though Macao looked more like a dark frozen blue in the press shots....

I would have been highly disappointed if I got this.

The lighting in the dealership is doing that color NO justice. Look at how underwhelmed the responses are.



If it looked like that we would all be singing a different tune, because that's badass!

I guess the painter was drunk and forgot to add blue in the mix
OR
he/she mixed gray instead of blue?

I have a Sparkling Graphite Metallic E93 and this does look a lot like it. Definitely it does have a purplish hue to it in certain lighting.

The carbon fiber mirror caps for $1040 are completely lost on this car or any MG car for that matter.
