I'll take a photo of my 2011 Monsoon Grey in the AM. Next to my wife's black BMW Monsoon is VERY obviously blueish. Not greenish at all.

I'll actually dig out my Kodak calibrated 18% grey card and put it up against the car too.

Here's two snaps of my Monsoon Grey next to black cars. It's early AM and I'm using a cellphone so the pics have a natural color cast, but compared to a black car Monsoon is quite blueish. Even with my fence throwing a ton of green reflection around the car tends towards blue. I need to get some better full sunshine pics....

I put off making a decision on my next car for six weeks (my car was totaled in an accident) and couldn't wait to see Monsoon in print or in person any longer. Pulled the trigger on a Moonlight blue/black leather 2012 last weekend, as I saw a sample of it at the dealership and thought it was striking.

Still very curious to see Monsoon, even though it may provoke a fit of buyer's remorse!
