G21: Tanzanite Blue II or Blue Ridge Mountain
Hey there.
About to pull a trigger on factory order of a G21. I really like the colours I mentioned in the title. Unfortunately however, I haven't seen a single G21 in any of those. Does anyone here have a car in that colour and if so, would you mind posting it here ? Thanks. |

@J-Tim,
Funny thing is that when I originally went to order my car, I was going to order it in Blue Ridge metallic (individual color for M340), but because it was a European delivery & early in production (I picked it up July '19), I went with Tanzanite Blue -- and have no regrets. This color is a rich deep blue that shimmers in direct sunlight. Hope the picture below my sign off is OK -- I also tried attaching another

I'll vote for Tanzanite Blue II. It's a super gorgeous color, there even is a thread dedicated to that color here. In the shade it's a dark blue, but in the sun it completely changes with stark contrasts between a light blue and the darker blue. Add a ton of sparkly flakes and you ahve your Tanzanite Blue.

Thanks folks. It does look absolutely stunning. I am planning on going for a Luxury Line, which should make the car look even more unusual.
The Blue Ridge Mountain was my original choice as it looks very different, depending on time of the day. From green and blue, to almost silver. |

Afraid I am in the minority. I have a G20 in Blue Ridge Mountain and it is a joy to look at everyday. Like Tanzanite it is very unique. But it changes color completely depending on the lighting, it can varying shades from gray-green to green-blue. Really love the color.

Tanzanite wins for me. Particularly with an oyster or cognac interior it looks really sharp

Gotta say that Tanz. II is just spectacular and on a sunny day pops and shines like no blue I've ever seen. I love it on mine - especially with the Individual Fjord Blue leather I went with...

I'll buck the trend. Blue Ridge Mountain is a more unique color with more variation. While TB II looks stunning in sunlight, it looks utterly unremarkable in any other light.

I think both are great colors. Personally, TB is too dark for me. Specially living in Seattle, I don't like my car to appear dark black all the time! so I configured my order with BRM

I vote Tanzanite. My F80 color, and it's very nice when clean

If you want a blue that stands out then go for Portofino. I never liked this Blue Ridge color.
