Arktis Metallic Color Change

Looking at these 2 pictures of my car you can tell how the Arktis Metallic color looks very different with different lightning. Yes pretty much any color will look different with a change in light, but this is something that us Arktis Metallic guys out there really enjoy about the color of our cars. Enjoy!

my BSM does the same except it goes from a lighter shade of 4 months of dirt build-up to a darker shade of 4 months of dirt buildup.

in all seriousness, that's pretty sweet.

Arctic Blue is a really interesting color. Under dim light like the pic on the right that you posted it looks like Space Gray.

Thanks everyone, it is a very fun color! looks great from the outside, had the opportunity to see my gf drive it while i drove a truck with some new couches, loved the color changes on the highway when it got darker out.
