I am thinking of buying a for me new car and one alternative is a 2007 or newer CLS.

I know of a 2007 Tanzanite Blue Mercedes CLS that have almost every option i want but i am not sure about the color.

Note that i have only seen this color on pictures and i have never seen a puicture of a Tanzanite Blue Cls taken in the sun

So if any here have a Tanzanite Blue CLS please post a picture of your car
The more pictures the better it is

Thanks for posting

The Tanzanite Blue is darker than i thought but i must say that the Tanzanite Blue color looks good

This might be a stupid question but i suppose you are satisfied with the color and do not regret buing the car in another color?

One more thing is when i have searched for Tanzanite Blue Mercedes on the internet the name of the color often says Tanzanite Blue/Capri blue

Is Tanzanite Blue and Capri blue the same color? Or is it as i think that the Tanzanite Blue is darker?

I can tell you that most people think my car is black, unless the sun hits it and the blue metallic shines.

I just bought a Tanzanite/Capri Blue last week. IMO, the color is absolutely gorgeous in-person. As others have said in various threads, the color looks very different depending on the lighting. It goes from a purple-tinted blue in bright sunlight to almost black at night. It's very difficult to capture the nuance of it in pictures. I really love the color.

Here's the same car in two different lighting situations. Also, it went from having lots of swirl marks to having no swirl marks after I cleaned up the paint.

Indeed an awesome color. Would've loved to find one myself but ended up with Obsidian Black.

Enjoy the new ride.
