Saw one of these a few weeks back:
205 GTi in Miami Blue, of course. 300 made.
There were 300 Miami Blue 1.6 Gtis and 300 1.9 Gtis made in 1990, along with 300 1.6 & 1.9 Gtis in Sorrento Green, but then Miami Blue and Sorrento Green became standard colours in later years.205 GTi in Miami Blue, of course. 300 made.
The car pictured is a J-plate so first registered 1 August 1991 – 31 July 1992.
My XF is in the now discontinued French Racing Blue, which is too much of a mouthful so I usually refer to it as "d
head Blue" in familiar company.
It's probably relatively common on the R-S models, but it was only available until the Sportbrake came out when they changed to Ultra Blue. There aren't many R-S saloons about in absolute terms so you don't often meet another out and about.
It's easy to find in a carpark, which I like.

My Cerbera is painted in "Rolex Blue" which is apparently a BMW colour, with 284 in the paintcode. BMW may or may not have called it Amethyst. I don't know any more than that as I'm not particularly interested in BMWs beyond my own paint colour.
I've never noticed a BMW in this colour. Cerberas were also painted in Techno Violet as posted earlier in this thread, which I have seen on BMWs several times.

Fiat Pandas came in a lovely orangey metallic colour. Saw one for the first time in Kos weirdly enough. To which Mrs Vtec said her friend had one exactly like it in school. Never seen one before or since.
Saw one yesterday that someone had decided to paint matte black below the side trim....badly i might add, they clearly didn't use tape as was rather a lot of overspray! The pale blue Alfa 156 is Achille blue.
