I saw this color in person today and I don't like it. Probably my least favorite color out of them all. When there is little to no sunlight, it looks like one of those old dark swampy greens you've seen on plenty of other cars. I guess you need bright light to hit the paint in order to see the blue. Overall it's just a pretty dull looking color in my opinion. It's too bad they didn't finally send over Stratos Blue for the RX-8.

In the vehicle line/color swatch book at the dealership it looks like the teal on my dad's old 1993 Chevy Silverado.

looks pretty good when there is a lot of light though
