Default Northern Blue pearl effect paint - opinions

Saw this color in the showroom and liked it at first, then thought it had too much glitter.
Opinions? Actual outside pictures?

I have Northern blue with cream and like it alot.
When it's clean I get all kinds of compliments on the color.

Default My "first" 04 A8L was the Northern Blue one on the showroom floor.

I cancelled it the next day when I realized that I was over 50 and needed to drive a silver car instead!!! I like Northern Blue and I guess being over 50 has some benefits!!

Default Northern Blue is definitely 'sparkly' in bright sun when it is clean.

But not in a goofy or unattractive way. I get lots of looks and comments on the paint when I park at my morning coffee joint. If you like flat colors like Brilliant Black, go that direction. Northern Blue is different in both color and richness of the paint...I like it.
