I think this is Mauritus Blue. . Petrol Blue seems more Teal than blue . . ..
Pictures can be misleading so it is always better to see the colors in person. . .
Personally, I prefer the deep sea blue!!

It's kinda tricky...
...<font color="003366"> The car that was photographed was Petrol Blue PE. But the released photos have ended up so heavily Photoshopped (as a result of the weather on the shooting day) the color of <i>most</i> of the blue car PR shots looks to be somewhere between Petrol Blue PE and Mauritus Blue PE (Ocean Blue PE in The States). There a re a few where it's pretty representative of the real thing. Need to mention that Petrol Blue PS is a lot like Nogaro Blue PE (on of the B5 S4 launch colors) in that it has proven to be very difficult to shoot and look right without post-processing tweaking.
The restrained lunatic is correct, Petrol Blue PE is closer to a teal than a pure blue when you see it in person.</font>

I'm getting down to colour choices too
I love the colour in the link below, and just wanted to check how confident you are that it is Sahara Silver (which seems a little lighter in the Configurators). I always trust your statements, and yet I know how tricky colours can be when reproduced...
Thank you in advance.
Cheers,
