Tanzanite is a really nice color, especially when it's clean and shiny. But with just a bit a dirt, a cloudy sky, and it becomes another dark blue. Really nothing special imo. I pushed a friend to pay extra for Tanzanite on his M6 and we were both very disappointed when the car was delivered. As I say, nice but not that special.

Portimao is a much more interesting color imo. It's brighter, has a hint of purple and is a bit more showy. I like all that. But I acknowledge that Portimao could get very old very quickly. Like Estoril Blue did.

But if I was choosing between the two right now, I'd go with the more interesting Portimao.
