I couldn't find Atlantis Metallic ?

Interesting how there are different codes for Laguna Seca Blue depending on the year and model of the vehicle.

Looks like they switched to a different paint codes in 2018. I wonder if the issues they were having with individual LSB paint orders sparked the changed.

Example: 'Techno Violet' in the 'Purple' section = BMW paint color code '299' (1996-1997):

The years are not exactly accurate. Techno Violet first appeared on E34 in June 1994 and was used on E36 until mid-1999.

Oh yes, that story of the unlucky E92 M3 owner taking delivery at Welt back in 2013 (European Delivery) - what a difference 1 letter makes:See also here ("Forum Trashes BMW Owner Who Had M3 Delivered In Wrong Shade Of Blue").

That's the color but blue is not the official color name. "Atlantis Metallic"

Exactly - this is how that guy got into the unfortunate situation in the first place probably. Someone saw Atlantis Blue and corrected to the one-letter-off Atlantic Blue. Paint code always best, but does help to leave the Blue off .

Actually, I'm confused because I thought it was "Atlantis Metallic" too, paint code 399. I see a lot of Atlantis Blue references in that Color Code list but maybe they are all wrong or it changed.

My favorite BMW color of all time is missing, Ägäischesblau Metallic, (Aegaeischblau Metallic/Aegean Blue Metallic, code 336). BASF FQ 95-3568.
